2025 Monterey Dive Trip

Join Dive Outdoors' three dive instructors on a guided trip of Monterey's in-shore reefs and kelp beds this July 19th and 20th, 2025!  Grab this unique opportunity to dive with Chris, Chandler, and Tyler! The diving experience in Monterey is unlike anywhere else. There are underwater canyons (including the famous Monterey Canyon), kelp forests, boulders, otters, sea lions, seals, sea urchins, rockfish, groupers, abalone, and wolf eels! Diving amongst the kelp, in the ethereal light, is a surreal experience you will want to repeat over and over again!  And with three dive instructors there to guide you, what better way to get to know the famous dive sites of Monterey! Monterey is a fantastic cold water diving location. Year-round water temperature at diving depths is between 48-52 F (approx 10 C). If you only own a tropical wetsuit, you can rent a 7mm wetsuit or buy a wetsuit from Dive Outdoors!
