Trip Highlights

The Palos Verdes coastline is like a hidden gem. It has so much to offer and seems to get overlooked with divers wanting to go to the islands. For the photographer, hunter, and sightseer it could even be better than the islands. Dive with us and find out for yourself! 

The Palos Verdes coast has much to offer and why is that? The reason is much of it is very hard to get to unless you are a hardy beach diver. Divers with their own boats have been diving the Palos Verdes area for years because they know how great the diving can be. You will find deeper reefs with lots of life to shallow beautiful reefs lush with kelp and fish. For the photographer, it can be nudibranch heaven and for the sightseer, you won’t get bored because there is something for everyone. 

This trip is best suited for

 Advanced divers and above that have experience in cold water conditions including; current, swell, possible limited visibility and deep water. 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
