Reputable San Diego Guides or Companies Recommendations

[coder_underwater]

Hello all,

I used to live in Southern California and enjoyed surfing but the thought of diving never crossed my mind until I moved to a land locked state (go figure). I dive a few times per year (oceanic and lakes) and am looking to getting some dives in while in San Diego on a short trip.

Just curious if anyone has dived with local dive guides or companies there? What was your experience like?

I have my own gear and would like to do some dives, maybe Kelp Forest, La Jolla Cove (is it actually good?), and am open to other sites. Thanks for your help.

Those two boats are good recommendations. I've dove with Waterhorse a bunch, they are great. Keep an eye on PowerScuba (via Meetup and Facebook). They organize shore dives a couple times a week.

I had a good experience at La Jolla Cove with San Diego Scuba Pros.
