Trip Highlights

 Izors is a LARGE man-made reef formed from LOT’s of large cement beams making it a very interesting deep dive. Izors, was named after Russ Izor who was a firm believer in artificial reefs, a longtime SoCal boat captain and the developer of the braided Space Age fiber fishing line he dubbed “Izorline. Russ passed away in Oct. 2002. 

Diving Izors is very different than a normal dive. There are cement beams everywhere creating plenty of space for fish and sea life to live in. It can also be popular with the fishermen. The depths are about 95′-85′. If conditions are good we will stay for 2 dives. If not we will find somewhere else cool to dive. 


This trip is best suited for

 Experienced Advanced Deep divers and above that have experience in cold water conditions including possible current, swell limited visibility, and deep water. The wrecks, man-made structures, and deeper reefs visited are unique and interesting and inherently have more hazards, and may not necessarily have the best dive conditions. Most importantly, good buoyancy control is needed and surface signal tubes are always recommended. 

The Boat

  

The Giant Stride dive boat has been a favorite of local SoCal divers for years and has an excellent following. It is owned and operated by Captain Jim. He and the crew does an excellent job and they know how to make customers happy! The Giant Stride is a private 6-pack dive charter boat catering to underwater photographers, tech divers, and small groups of divers.
Features a full galley and a 3500psi compressor. Read more about the Giant Stride HERE.

Scuba trips to the Channel Islands for the experienced diver are our specialty. We run trips to wrecks, oil rigs & coastal offshore reefs and offer warm & cold water dive vacations. We don’t have a dive shop, and we are not a club, but we have been putting on some AWESOME trips since 2008.

GREAT trip! Basically a private charter with personalized attention and pleasant captain. We went diving on outer reefs in Malibu that were pristine and full of life. Nitrox fills all day was a plus! Safe, fast, fun... new sites... I'll be back!

As usual, Kens's trip to Santa Cruz was terrific. Very well organized, had great people, a great boat, and the diving was incredible - Visibility best I have ever experienced in California. Flame Reef is a terrific site, a bit deeper them some great kelp and marine life. Lots of topography. I didn't see them there was a Mola and a Giant sea bass Hanging around.I will definitely go on more of Kens Dive trips
By Arthur L for Spectre-Flame Reef, Santa Cruz Island on Sep 15, 2024
Thank you, Art! Flame Reef has always been one of my favorites, but that first dive was one I'll remember for a long time. Can't wait to do it again, Ken
