I was in San Diego and wanted to get a couple of dives done while I was there. After reading some reviews I thought I would try La Jolla Dive and I was very happy I did! It was really easy to arrange the dives, I just called up and booked in for the next morning.

The equipment was all really good quality. Vanessa was my dive master. She was lovely, really knowledgeable and so helpful. My camera broke and she even sent over a few pictures!

Overall a great place to go to if are planning to go diving, I would highly recommend La Jolla dive.

This is not your fancy "chalet" dive store. It's basically an equipment locker in a back alley. You drive up, get your gear and go. Great prices and hours. Easy to get to. They are in the back of the shopping center that Google maps will take you to. I rented snorkeling gear and they gave me a good price on just what i needed. they even had a 3X wetsuit.

I went on two dives with Divemaster Anthony Doria of La Jolla Dive. Chris was great in getting me scheduled, and really helped my out by being flexible when my travel plans were disrupted. Diving with Anthoy was excellent - he was fun, friendly, knowledgeable, and patient. He took me on my first night dive and my first dive to see sharks... it doesn't get much better than that!

My son and I rented gear here. Chris was great and helped us with our regulator, which we own. We will rent here anytime we are in the area.

I am a causal scuba diver and when I travel to places on the coast I like to squeeze in at least one dive. I was recently in the San Diego area and wanted to dive in La Jolla. Having never dove there before I didn't know the area or dive shops. I stumbled across La Jolla Dive on line and got a hold of the owner Chris. Chris is the stereotypical "So Cal" guy, very cool and laid back. He is an experienced diver himself and has been diving in the area for over 20 years. He was so accommodating and without any hassles was quickly able to set me up with his Dive Master Vanessa. Vanessa is a La Jolla local with a passion for the sea and her new career as Dive Master. She is extremely knowledgable and amazed me with her knowledge of the aquatic life. She was extremely comprehensive with our pre-dive walk through and I felt very confident and comfortable diving with her. She was kind enough to take photos for me as I forgot my GoPro at home. She later went to great lengths to email them to me. If you ask her about local hot spots to eat or do some wine tasting she can give you some great tips there too! I would not hesitate to use Chris' dive shop again and I would certainly ask for Vanessa as my Dive Master. Thanks again Chris and Vanessa for the great memories.
