Most of our dive trips require Open Water Certification (or higher). However, some destinations in our catalog require at least Advanced Open Water Certification, comfort with challenging dive conditions, and 60+ dives.

For those who are not certified or new to diving, we also offer snorkeling and beginner-friendly dive options at certain destinations, so non-divers are welcome to join!

We also provide certification courses at some of our locations. If you’re interested, please let us know!

Each destination offers unique underwater encounters! From whale sharks in the Sea of Cortez, to hammerheads in the Galapagos, and manta rays in Socorro, our trips are designed for unforgettable wildlife experiences.

You’re welcome to bring your own gear, but rental equipment is available at most locations. We recommend bringing at least your mask, dive computer, and wetsuit for comfort.

Of course! We will work on finding you a buddy to dive with. We’ll do our best to pair you with someone of similar expertise and dive style.

I have attended events planned by this crew before, and have nothing but positive things to say about their caring nature for their guests and attention to detail! They have great taste in vendors, food, and are thoughtful about planning activities that are both fun and educational, helping you get a deeper understanding of the place + people you're interacting with during your trip. They do a great job of making sure there's something for everyone, and that everyone feels included. Not to mention... they're a whole lot of fun!
