Accessibility for All
Accessibility is important to us. We have made every effort to make everything we do including our location, gear, policies, procedures and website accessible to all. If you think we’ve missed something, please call 310.510.6363 or contact Lisa directly and we’ll make it right. With us, scuba diving is open and welcoming to everyone.
Our Adaptive Diving Program
Adaptive Certification
We believe in the art of possible: the PADI system is performance-based, meaning that we modify skill techniques to meet performance requirements by leveraging what individual students can do. Underwater, everyone is equal. It doesn’t matter that you have cognitive or developmental concerns, need support for stress and anxiety or have physical challenges.
Adaptive Diving Experiences
For certified divers, choose either a half or full day of private diving with any combination of dives, all led by an experienced local pro dedicated to you and your group. We’ll discuss any medical clearances you need.
For uncertified divers, call us to discuss Discover Scuba Diving experiences. Uncertified diving does require medical clearance and diving in the ocean your first time might not be a good fit. Let’s talk!
Gear
We have multiple options available to assist you in the practical aspects of scuba diving including a wide variety of sizes, mobility items, cold storage for medication and privacy solutions. Please contact us to discuss your unique needs.
Cancellation Policy
For Adaptive Diving certifications and experiences, our cancellation policy is more flexible. Please contact us about any changes to your
booking as soon as possible, and we’ll work with you. Learn more
