Scuba Diving SD Expeditions

We love scuba diving in La Jolla Cove; so much so, we do it twice daily. Any day of the week you can join one of our experienced guides in diving the famous La Jolla Cove Reef and Kelp Forest. As your personal scuba tour guide, it’s our goal to show you how beautiful our San Diego waters are. Let us show you why La Jolla Cove was just voted California's most beautiful shore dive.
We’ll navigate through the breath-taking underwater forest while keeping our eyes peeled for all sorts of life: dozens of fish, harmless sharks, and even sea lions. We’ll conclude our dive and leisurely return to the beach enjoying the beautiful views of La Jolla.


Meeting location is at Scripps Park in La Jolla Cove. Bookings accepted 24 hours in advance. We offer one tank dives beginning at 8:00am and also 10:45am. If you're interested in scheduling something the day of, feel free to contact our office.

Haven’t been diving lately and want a scuba refresher? Our refresher dive is the perfect way to update your dive skills and knowledge from the PADI Open Water Diver Course before jumping back into the water. Whether you want a few reminders or need to go over the basics, the dive is personalized for you. It’s a good way to prepare for your next scuba outing.

We love scuba diving in La Jolla. As your personal scuba guide, it’s our goal to show you how beautiful our San Diego waters are. From scuba diving the rocky reefs to the gorgeous kelp forests at La Jolla Cove, the La Jolla Ecological Reserve has it all – beautiful, diverse marine life and the chance of seeing something amazing.


Beyond the unique events that bring leopard sharks, gray whales, market squid and grunions coming back year after year, the nutrient rich water at La Jolla Cove is always full of surprises. We’ve seen green turtles, sevengill sharks, giant black sea bass, soupfin sharks and even dolphin!


Join us for our most popular scuba experience! Spend the morning shore diving with us as we guide you on a 2-tank scuba dive to show you the best of both ecosystems in La Jolla – the rocky substrate of the reef and the wildly inhabited kelp forest.


Beginning at 8am, we’ll start at La Jolla Cove. Say hello to the resident Sea Lion population lounging on the rocks as you descend to your first dive. The reef at La Jolla Cove is teeming with life. Keep your eyes peeled for Horn Sharks, Bat Rays and plenty of Garibaldi.


After our first dive, you'll have a short break in the park where we encourage you to bring your own refreshments and relax before your second dive.


If you have never experienced a true kelp forest underwater, the second dive is a must. We’ll navigate through the breath-taking underwater forest while keeping our eyes out for all sorts of life: dozens of fish, harmless sharks, and even sea lions! We’ll conclude our dive and leisurely return to the beach enjoying the beautiful views of La Jolla.
