Dive Trip Adventures
Dive Trips
Our dive trips are just as easily described as adventures, with diving! As scuba diving and exploration is a foundation of our trips, so is the exploration and adventure of seeing the sights, sounds, and culture of the places we visit.
We've done a wide range of successful, exciting dive adventures. From U.S. destinations like the Florida Keys, the West Coast, and Hawaii, to Mexico, Central America, and the Caribbean, or onward to various dives in the Pacific, SE Asia, and Europe. We can take you on an adventure that's readily available in both hemispheres.
ALL dive trips provide the option to do Open Water checkout dives (for new divers), or to complete Advanced Diver training. These are INCLUDED as part of the trip; you only pay a $75 processing fee for PADI certification.
We can organize trips for you and your group; its only limited by your imagination! Want to dive in the Mediterranean or the Red Sea? Let us work with you and to visit an amazing part of the world. Please check the calendar for trips and dates. If you don't see a date that works, please suggest a trip!
Lake Pleasant
Checkout dives for new students who just can't make it out of town! Based in Phoenix, AZ, these are our local dives when we just can't get out of town. An easygoing, inexpensive way to get wet and tune up your dive skills!
Dates are usually on the calendar, but, other dates can be requested by students, by arrangement. We often have both new divers and those completing Advanced dives on these trips, so its a good mix.
Cost: $245 for new diver checkouts; much less if you just need gear, tanks, or both to fun dive!
Rocky Point, Mexico
Ocean diving, lots of sea life, and a BIG step up from diving at the lake! Checkout/Advanced diving certification trip. $245 for checkout diving includes all gear/tanks, shore diving (boat optional), with final certification; $345 with weekend accommodations included.
Certified divers welcome! Diving costs range from $80-150, depending on your gear needs. Other minor costs included condo share and money for carpooling; typically about $100 per person for weekend accommodations, and ~$30 for carpooling gas/auto insurance. Everyone is responsible for their own food/drink. You are welcome to arrange your own lodging or transportation, but must meet up with us at the required times!
San Carlos, MX
The Sea of Cortez at it's best! A little further than the Lake, or Rocky Point, but worth the trip! These trips are by arrangement, as we work with other dive operators at the chosen destination. Let us know and we can get you there any time of the year! Normally we carpool down, about 7 hours from Phoenix since there are few flight options.
Trips start at 4 days/3 nights for $495 and can be expanded from there.
Cabo San Lucas
Cabo is a quick 2 hour flight from Phoenix, and has some great diving. 2-3 days of diving, your option, and may included night dives (optional). 5 nights shared accommodation, airport transfers, all gear and dives included. Longer trips possible, about 4-5 days is our minimum. Professionally guided dives. A great place to finish checkout dives or pursue Advanced certification.
Estimated cost: $1195 plus airfare.
SoCal and the West Coast
From San Diego and La Jolla up to Catalina and further north along the California coast, or up to the Pacific Northwest. We arrange road trips from here in AZ, or fly to meet our groups at the destination. Contact us to build a trip!
The Great Lakes
Getting back to roots in the Midwest, the Great Lakes offer crystal clear freshwater diving and a multitude of wrecks to explore for the more adventurous. Contact us to build a custom trip.
Florida Keys
One of my favorite places, as I lived there for some time shooting marine videography. Start in Miami for a night, then road trip through the amazing southern tip of Florida, for two days of dives near Key Largo, and three days in Key West. 5-6 nights accommodations, all diving and gear included, and local group transportation. Get your checkout or advanced dives in for just the cost of PADI processing, as part of your trip package. Estimated cost: $1250-1600 depending on trip details, plus airfare.
Cancun/Cozumel
Explore the nightlife of Cancun and the nearby Mayan ruins of the Yucatan, then travel by boat to Cozumel for ~4 days of awesome boat dives. Drift dives, shipwrecks, amazing sea life and more. 6 nights shared accommodation, airport transfers, all gear and dives included! Professionally guided dives. New divers: checkout dives included for the price of PADI processing. Also, a great place to pursue advanced certification. Estimated cost: $1175 plus airfare.
Hawaiian Islands
Having lived in Hawaii, we can plan a trip to any of the islands with expert guidance. This trip will include the island of Oahu for some great diving a LOTS of island culture and fun. Hike to numerous waterfalls. Learn to surf. Get into the local culture or luau. And much, much more!
Estimated cost: 1695$ plus airfare. Includes all diving (guided) from both shore and boat, accommodations for 7 nights, local transportation and a luau!
Add on a neighbor island (Maui, Kauai, or the Big Island) for a total of 9 nights and a two-island adventure. Estimated cost: $1995 plus airfare.
South Pacific and Southeast Asia... Great Barrier Reef, Fiji, Palau, Thailand... where would you like to go?
These trips are normally by design, and custom built for you, since they are typically longer (1-2 weeks or more) and more involved logistically.
Japan, Vietnam, Thailand, Australia, and the list just starts there. Many amazing places in the world to be seen and appreciated, especially with the changes we are seeing in the ocean environment. Some things, sadly, are endangered... contact us and we'll take a trip to see these natural wonders firsthand.
How to sign up for any trip:
For local trips like the Lake or Rocky Point, we just require a $100 deposit.
For bigger trips, we require a 400$ deposit to hold your spot. Once we have enough people to make the trip a GO (6-8 people min.), you will be notified to immediately purchase your airfare separately. We will try to coordinate flights so we are traveling all together as much as possible.
Once airfares are being purchased, the trip is locked in and there can be no deposit refunds. If we do NOT have enough people to hold the trip and purchase airfare, deposits will be refunded. After we purchase airfare and solidify the roster, balances due for the trip will be required no later than 2 weeks (14 calendar days) prior to departure.
