Peace Boat Tour of The Islands Sept 12 - 16,2026

Marine mammal interactions are common in these waters. Divers frequently encounter seals and sea lions, with young sea lions in particular displaying curiosity by approaching or following divers. Dolphins and whales are also often spotted from the boat. The underwater environment is exceptionally diverse. Common marine life includes sheephead, calico bass, halibut, garibaldi, ling cod, vermilion, numerous species of rockfish, opaleye, several varieties of perch, giant black sea bass, horn sharks, angel sharks, and various rays. Invertebrates such as lobsters, scallops, mussels, multiple types of abalone, eels, nudibranchs, sea fans, snails, sea cucumbers, sea hares, starfish, sea urchins, octopus, and numerous shellfish are abundant. Eel grass meadows, kelp forests, and a wide array of anemones also contribute to the vibrant ecosystem. The specific creatures and sights encountered can vary greatly depending on the dive site and the diver’s chosen path. Each island boasts unique geology, featuring cave systems, arches, swim-throughs, towering rock formations, and sheer walls, ensuring a dynamic and ever-changing underwater landscape.

Channel Islands Adventure Dive Trip

This is a fun and exciting trip to the beautiful Channel Islands! Whether you enjoy sightseeing, underwater photography, or simply exploring the underwater world, this trip has something for everyone.

For Open Water Divers, boat diving is a fantastic experience. There's nothing quite like pulling up to a dive site, gearing up, and making an easy giant stride entry into some of California's most spectacular waters.

If you're an Open Water Diver, I encourage you to continue growing your skills by earning your Advanced Open Water certification or completing specialty courses. Additional training will help you become a more comfortable, confident diver and allow you to get even more enjoyment from dives like these.

The Channel Islands are often called California's underwater paradise. You'll have the opportunity to dive through towering kelp forests and encounter an incredible variety of marine life, including sea stars, sea urchins, sea cucumbers, sea hares, octopus, snails, and much more.

I like to call it an underwater zoo—except all the animals are free to roam in their natural habitat. Every dive offers something new to discover, making this an adventure you'll never forget.

Come join us and experience one of the most amazing dive destinations on the West Coast!

 The Monterey Bay Submarine Canyon is huge. It's the largest undersea canyon on the West Coast of the United States — and begins right offshore. It descends from a depth of about 60 feet (18 m) to nearly 12,000 feet (3,656 m) at a distance of 60 miles (97 km) off the coast. Why Scuba Divers Can't Resist Monterey The diving experience in Monterey is unlike anywhere else. Divers are drawn to the area's underwater canyon and kelp forests. They possess one-of-a-kind marvels that can't be replicated by other diving sites. People are also enticed by Monterey County diving for more practical concerns. They love the area's strong diving safety and excellent visibility. If you like the idea of anywhere between 10 and 30 feet of clear visibility, you'll simply want to scuba dive in Monterey. The Monterey Bay National Marine Sanctuary's waters are full of beneficial nutrients. That's why the sanctuary is home to a dazzling array of marine creatures. Divers in the region get the exciting opportunity to feast their eyes on marine animals galore. If you want to dive and check out some of the most interesting and beautiful examples of marine life out there, you can't go wrong with a dive in Monterey County. Examples of underwater wildlife include seals, otters, sea lions, rockfish grouper and lingcod, starfish, and abalone. Monterey is known by many to be a fantastic location for cold water diving. People can credit the Monterey Bay Submarine Canyon for this which has an amazing depth of 10,663 feet. Year-round water temperature at diving depths is between 48-52 F (approx 10 C).
