Beyond Land Adventures, Inc.

Beyond Land Adventures was created to give the San Diego dive community exceptional education, gear, and support! We are dive professionals. 100% of our staff are Divemasters. We are the only dive shop in the San Diego area that can say that. We work hard to ensure that our divers are among the best trained in the world. To that end, we cap all our classes at a maximum of six students. We are your local dive shop and host a variety of activities including local dives, advanced training, and other fun diver events! You will be invited to our exclusive dive club as soon as you graduate!

We are a proud San Diego company. We are committed to being your dive shop and to welcoming you to our dive family! Whether we are teaching you in a new class, leading you on dives, or helping you get outfitted for gear, we are here to help. You can count on us to keep supporting you.

While we are a full service dive center and offer a variety of diver products and services, our pride and joy is training dive professionals. Our dive professional programs are not about doing the minimum. We are training you to be successful in our industry by teaching you real world skills and guidance built on decades of experience. Our programs are usually a bit longer than what you might see from other training center because we want you to be exceptionally well prepared. We are one of few training centers in the world that can claim a 100% pass rate for our instructor candidates at their Instructor Exam. We conduct a broad range of professional programs and our team have worked in diving all over the world. We provide employment advice, including help building your dive resume and exploring options for working in diving. We can connect you with dive resorts and centers in destinations all over the world that want dive professionals they can rely on.

We are committed to providing the best customer service and learning environment for all of our customers. To that end, we started with these ideas: We hire only dive professionals. Every member of our team is a certified Divemaster or Instructor. That means that our customers get knowledgeable information every time they choose us for their adventures! Our dive professionals have taught thousands of divers and are excited to teach thousands more! We cap all of our classes at 6 students. That is our absolute maximum. While the technical maximum we could take in a class is 12 students, we adjusted that because we believe that an intimate learning environment is crucial for learning and helps develop a strong relationship and trust between student and instructor. For our more challenging classes, we impose even smaller class sizes to further our students’ learning and ensure their safety. We do not “sell“ divers on gear. We do not push any particular items or try to upsell anyone. Our goal is to help you find the best gear to match your dive goals, abilities, and budget. We definitely want you to come buy gear from us, but we do not want you to have to come back to buy the same thing again because you bought the wrong item the first time. Our experienced dive professionals will guide to finding the best gear after discussing your needs with you. Our divers consistently come back from dive trips telling us a similar story about how they were among the best divers in the group. They are usually shocked by how poor buoyancy control is among students trained at dive centers that prioritize profit over exceptional training. It is a difficult thing to explain, but once you go on your first dive trip, you will be glad you trained with us!
