Refresher Dive

Recapture that feeling of total confidence by updating the diving skills you learned in your Open Water Diver course.

In the Refresher Dive you will have the opportunity to practice and review the scuba skills you learned in your Open Water Diver class and learn techniques that may have changed since you took your class. You will have the opportunity to refresh your memory and motor coordination, all with the guidance of a dive leader.

The scuba skills update is a great opportunity to re-learn your current equipment, or the perfect time to learn about and adjust your new equipment with the guidance of a dive leader.

Refresher Dives are recommended after taking a year off from diving.

Tour of the Valiant

The Valiant is Catalina Island's most famous shipwreck. The 163 feet long, 444 ton steel motor yacht was built in 1926 and at her time, she was one of the largest private yachts in the world.

On December 17, 1930, the Valiant exploded and burned, then sank off Descanso Beach. It was reported that there was a loss of $67,000.00 in jewels and to this day, the jewels were never recovered.

The wreck lies perpendicular to the shore, listing to the port side on a sandy bottom. Her bow lies in 110 feet of water. This dive is for advanced divers only!

Tour of the Valiant includes: Your guide, a knowledgeable and experienced instructor, scuba equipment and wetsuit. Participants must show a log book of deep, cold-water dives.

Please allow approximately 2 hours for the tour and reservations are required. The price for this tour is $149.00 for a private dive or $119.00 for 2 or more participants.

Night Diving

When you go night diving you'll see a whole new world. Even the Avalon Underwater Park takes on a new personality at night, as many underwater creatures and plant life (different from those you see during the day) are active at night.

You'll learn night dive planning, organization, procedures, techniques and potential problems. You'll also learn how to control your buoyancy, navigate and communicate at night. Since many of the plants and animals you'll see are different, you'll also get an introduction to nocturnal aquatic life.

Your tour includes: Your guide, a knowledgeable and experienced instructor and an expert on Catalina Island marine life, scuba equipment and wet suit. Participants must show proof of certification.

Please allow approximately 3 hours for the tour and reservations are required. The price for this tour is $149.00 for a private dive or $119.00 for 2 or more participants.
