Catalina Islands Diving

Introduction

Catalina Islands DivingThe Catalina Islands are similar in that there is no boat anchorage at some of the islets and one must descend immediately and away from the rocks.

The Catalinas are famous for Rays; Manta Rays, Bat Rays, Mobley, Spotted, Bullseye and Stingrays abound. Occasionally, we find ourselves lost in huge migratory schools of various species of rays. Sometimes, a Tiger shark is spotted. White tips are not uncommon.

A checkout dive is not mandatory for this trip but recommended. The trip to the Bats via power boat takes about 1 1/2 hours where the Catalinas are closer and takes only about 1/2 an hour to arrive. Of course, thorough briefings are given at the shop and at the sites for both locations.
