Highlights of the Tour
1. Dive at The Wall
Your first dive of the day will take place at The Wall, a renowned dive site that offers an exhilarating descent into the depths of the ocean. The Wall is a dramatic vertical drop that starts at around 15 feet and plunges down to depths of over 100 feet. As you descend along the coral-covered wall, you’ll be surrounded by vibrant marine life, including schools of tropical fish, sea turtles, and occasional reef sharks. The stunning coral formations and sheer verticality of The Wall make this dive an unforgettable experience for seasoned divers.
2. Dive at The Aquarium
The second dive of the day takes you to The Aquarium, a shallow dive site known for its colorful coral gardens and incredible biodiversity. At depths ranging from 15 to 40 feet, this spot is ideal for observing the rich marine life of the Caribbean up close. You’ll encounter an array of exotic fish, such as angelfish, parrotfish, and trumpetfish, as well as moray eels, lobsters, and stingrays. The calm, clear waters and lively reef ecosystem make this dive both relaxing and awe-inspiring.

Beyond the underwater wonders, Catalina Island itself is a tropical paradise. Between dives, you’ll have the chance to relax on the island’s soft white sand beaches, swim in the turquoise waters, and soak up the sun.
