Channel Islands Trips

We do some serious diving during our southern islands Channel Islands trips.  We go with  Truth Aquatics, leaving from Santa Barbara, and usually go aboard the Vision.  

The Southern Islands itinerary includes two full days of diving on San Clemente, including all of the fabulous spots at the southern tip (e.g. Octopus Gardens, Pyramid Head), then on to Catalina Island on day 3.  Everyone loves Farnsworth Banks, but if it's too rough there, you might get treated to some diving on Little Farnsworth.  Captain Tommy also has a  secret dive spot where divers are able to get up close and personal with the Giant Sea Bass.  On day 4, on the way home, we stop at Anacapa and/or then Santa Cruz.  These islands are often a good place for scallop hunters to catch their limit.  

It is quite easy to do 15-20 dives on a 4 day trip, including night dives. The food is hearty, the company is good, what more could you want?  

Below are some sample photos of our Truth Aquatics Southern Islands experiences.  We loved every minute!  And, we are always looking to go back for more!
