Join Dolphin Scuba Center for two tank fun dives in Monterey Bay aboard the Beachhopper II. These dives are an excellent way for new and experienced divers alike to explore the kelp forests of Monterey Bay. 

Divers are expected to bring all of their own equipment, including tanks and weights. Equipment can be rented from Dolphin Scuba Center in advance for a discounted rate. Call our shop at (916) 929-8188 to set up your rental.

Expect water temperatures around 55 degrees F, and max depths of around 60 feet for these two morning boat dives. The dives are not guided, however Dolphin staff will be onboard if you would like to join a dive group. Dive buddies are welcome and encouraged to explore on their own within the limits of their training and ability. And for those needing a bit more assistance, private dive guides from Dolphin are available for hire.  The Beachhopper II and Captain Mary Jo will be sure to place us on the best dive sites the day has to offer. The vessel has an head (restroom) complete with a hot water shower, and light snacks and water for divers.

The boat will depart from K-Dock at the Monterey Bay Harbor at 8am. Recommended arrival time is 7AM to gear up and prepare to board the boat. Parking onsite is available for a fee. Restrooms are also available onsite. The boat is expected to return into the harbor around 12:30PM.

Divers will also be required to sign a waiver for the Beachhopper II, and any underage divers attending will need the signature of a parent or legal guardian on the waiver to participate. Divers will also need to present an Open Water Diver certification (or higher).
