Catalina Divers Supply -- pier location — Local services in Avalon

I cannot recommend this company highly enough. My friend Craig and I both signed up for the guided dive tour of Dive Park and our experience was fantastic.

The customer service was out of this world. The dive master handled all of our equipment rentals for us and got us all set up very quickly. She was very informed and passionate about diving. She gave us a great briefing before the dive and was with us every step of the way into the water.

Unfortunately my friend was unable to dive because he couldn't equalize his ear but he was able to go back ashore and they switched his SCUBA gear for snorkel gear. He still had a great time! I went on with the dive with the dive master and she showed me all the life that lives in Dive Park. We saw giant black sea bass, an eel, lobster, tons of fish, beautiful kelp, and even a small shark!

I will be back in mid July and will definitely be doing business with this company...

I had a horrible experience at the dive park: My partner and I were diving at Catalina Island, Casino Point dive park on 12/14/16 where I became victim of bullying by one of NAUI instructors, Ruth Harrison, employed at Catlina Dive Supply. She, as I was exiting the stairs on the left side and had a hard time lifting my tanks , physically grabbed my diving partner preventing him from helping me. We were not her students. Ruth yelled at me for blocking the stairs on the left side and refused to exit on the completely vacant right side of the stairs with her two students. She continued to yell at me for 10 minutes in front of everybody saying "you don't know what you are doing!" She attempted to physically remove my gear but was unable to do so since it was too heavy for her. This was unacceptable behavior at...

I called before my visit cruise ship visit to inquire about diving in the park. They said bring as much or as little of my own gear as I wanted as they have everything. This included mask, snorkel, fins and booties. We only brought a towel to hide under while changing.

My son did his 'open water' dives in Lake Tahoe so this was going to be his first true open water diving experience. I figured the park was an excellent spot for a new diver. Turns out it was nearly perfect.

Upon arrival, a very nice young man handed over all the gear we needed. It was all in pretty good shape except for my son's depth gauge which was changed between our two dives.

I highly recommend these guys if you are visiting and...
