Monterey Dive Tour FAQs

Do I need to be SCUBA Certified?

Yes, dive tours are for certified divers only. If you need to get certified, consider signing up for one of classes.



What can I see in Monterey Bay?

Monterey Bay offers divers tons to see! With life crawling from the sandy sea beds, to the rocky reefs, and all the way up the giant kelp forests.



When is the best time of year to dive in Monterey?

Year-round! No kidding, Monterey Bay offers consistently decent conditions pretty much all year long. The summer/fall months can provide warmer days, while the winter months can offer better visibility.



Are we diving from a boat, or entering the water from the shore?

Currently, all of our dive tours are shore dives. We do offer monthly fun dives from a dive boat. Fun Boat dives are not guided dives, but there will always be a Dive Master.

Unfortunately, there is no recreational diving in the San Francisco bay or coastline. But Monterey is only a short drive south!



Do you provide transportation?

No, we do not provide transportation. We highly reccomend renting a car.



Why can I only book one dive?

We set up our booking platform to only book one dive, but 2 dives is definitely possible. After the first dive, you'll have the option to go for another dive, and we'll take care of the additional payment back at the shop!
