Complete scam, nobody answers the phone or shows up for the dive. When you dispute the charge on your credit card the owner then sends e-mail proof that you paid for the dive and filled out paperwork.

DO NOT USE THIS SERVICE.

Google should be removing them from their search engine. – via Google

My husband and I booked diving with this venture a year ago for our honeymoon in San Diego. WHAT A MISTAKE. We showed up, on time, and were met with nobody. We contacted the “shop” (there isn’t one) and called the number multiple times – we even went into the hotel that SD Expositions is supposedly based out of. The hotel staff looked mostly confused, and said they haven’t seen the operator, Nick, in an extended time. We finally heard back from Nick and the only thing he had was a list of wild excuses, all of which we were willing to overlook because of the promise to go diving. We attempted to meet up, he arrived over an hour late and spun a story of stolen equipment (regulators) by a disgruntled employee and asked if we could reschedule for later that day. We said yes and we agreed to adjusting the monetary rates for the afternoon dive and the night dive. We arrived for the afternoon dive and Nick never showed up. We tried to contact for over an hour, all the while being completely ignored. We gave up and reached out again for the evening dive, and again we were ignored. We finally received a text message that he would issue us a full refund (just take a look at the screenshots). Low and behold, we never got a refund. We paid through PayPal, started a claim to which he had 10 days to reply. There was no response within 10 days, we received our money back. Problem solved, right?? WRONG. Somehow, this lowlife responded after the deadline and PayPal overturned the decision. All without letting us know. We have text messages from Nick all stating that he would refund us our almost $1,000, and now we are in a completely different boat having lost that $1,000. Don’t EVER do business with this unethical and morally corrupt person who fathoms to state he runs a legitimate business. – via Google

It ended up being pretty awesome. We had a few hiccups, but in the end they made it right. They had cancelled on me once because the ocean conditions honestly weren’t good so they gave me a voucher to come back. The voucher was good for 6 months. By the time I came back to California the voucher had expired, but they were kind enough to extend my voucher.

The experience in the ocean was awesome. The water was beautiful. The sea lions swam right up to us. The fish were gorgeous. The entire ocean experience was amazing.

When we came back again they had to cancel because the owner is very ill. And still is from the sounds of it with serious health issues. We ordered 2 cameras but one was defective so they refunded us our money that week. Even though we had a few hiccups they made it right everytime. Obviously if you care about your money and time you will make sure to stay on top of them. They get busy so don’t be afraid to keep calling and texting them asking for updates. – via Google

Oct 23, 2019: I’m at the spot we’re supposed to meet by 8:00. I just got a text at 7:45 saying my guide can’t dive today. Other divemasters here are telling me this is an improvement – for the last couple weeks it’s been mostly no-call no-shows by SD Expeditions. Apparently the owner is very ill. I have sympathy for him, but the online booking system should be shut down and those who have booked dives should be notified immediately, not in the moment they’re stranded at the meetup spot. – via Google
