Scuba Diving Trips & Dive
Travel Packages

Southern California’s kelp forests, Mexico’s volcanic pinnacles, Fiji’s soft-coral gardens—our scuba diving trips put you in the water with the creatures you’ve only seen on screens. Organized by Scuba Schools of America, each itinerary blends safe logistics, fair pricing, and a crew that dives right beside you. 

Scuba Schools of America is the most active dive shop in SoCal—maybe in the entire nation—so expect a full calendar of group dive travel and liveaboard vacations that keep your logbook growing.

Upcoming Group Dive Travel Adventures

  • Two-Day Adventure
    Aboard the Pacific Star

    An incredible weekend on our favorite Catalina live-aboard. Board Friday night at 9 p.m.; mandatory divemaster briefing at 10 p.m. (no exceptions—even if you’ve heard it a thousand times). The Pacific Star departs 22nd Street Sportfishing Landing, San Pedro. Waivers arrive by email the Wednesday before sailing—complete them early so you’re cleared to dive. Expect six to eight dives, hot meals, and bunk-style cabins. Air fills included; Nitrox available for $10 per fill. Remember to tip the crew—$20 makes their day and they’ll haul your gear both ways. 

  • Pacific Star Catalina Island One-Day Adventure

    Check-in at 6:30 a.m.; lines away at 7 a.m. from 22nd Street Sportfishing. We aim for three to five dives on kelp-forested reefs, sea-lion rookeries, or hidden wrecks—site picks depend on conditions. A “no-refund, no-cancellation” policy keeps costs low, so double-check your schedule. Trip details and waivers land in your inbox the Wednesday before departure. Crew tips: $20 cash.
