LA - USA
Pressure Junkies Scuba (PJS) was founded as a club in 2021 (unofficially) during the week of Hurricane Laura by 2 highly ambitious divers. One, a U.S. Army Veteran who got into scuba diving through Commercial Diving in the Gulf of Mexico and the other, an Indonesian Woman, a travel connoisseur who enjoys traveling and thus created her own travel agency. Exactly one year later, PJS was officially commissioned as a dive club and began offering dive trips to the public. PJS was created to provide a robust dive community that was non-judgmental, yet still fun and informative for everyone. After an uphill battle to fill a void in the LA market, we became an SSI Dive School, and now offer diving services of most kinds. See what we offer below:

★★★★☆ Homestead Crater
The Homestead Crater formed when melting snow on the Wasatch Mountains seeped deep within the earth. Two miles below the surface, the earth’s interior heated the water. As it percolated upward, it picked up minerals, which were then deposited on the surface.
