We live in Santa Monica, CA. We went to La Jolla to scuba dive with expectations of some cool critters. None of us have been there to dive, so we went to La Jolla Dive for the “dive tours”. We are all advanced divers with 30-500 dives between us depending on person. I’m the 30.
We booked the two tank La Jolla Cove and La Jolla Canyon dive and the La Jolla Canyon night dive. Peter was a dive guide on the La Jolla Cove and La Jolla Canyon dives and Brandon on the La Jolla Canyon night dive.
La Jolla the area did not disappoint. La Jolla Dive, Peter and Brandon and the owner (whose name I can’t recall this sec.) were EXCELLENT. I would not go to another shop even if given the choice and free dives. They listen, they give a detailed dive overview, they ask what you want to see and try to find it, they bring spare gear and extras “just in case” and they are passionate about diving. I run a firm. I wish all my staff could dial in and be as good as these guys were with all our customers. I’m sure they can have their off days but the days for us were A+.
So, if you want to dive in La Jolla, anywhere, contact La Jolla Dive. Brandon is one of the main night dive guys, Peter was our day dive, there is a Madison but we did not meet her… and a cool owner. When you get to La Jolla Shores, the space is in the alley behind the main shops. But very easy to find and has a lot of dive gear (no retail, this is an action shop). - via
