SWS 2008 CHANNEL ISLANDS LIVE-ABOARD DIVE TRIPS ON THE HORIZON

TRIPS THAT ARE SHORT AND

SWEET!!

Scuba World Sacramento Chartered Horizon trips are scheduled during prime season, giving you the best opportunity to experience and see just what Southern California diving has to offer.

Did you know that some of the best diving we have seen anywhere is off the coast of Southern California?  No fifteen-hour flight days, No passports, No Immigration or Customs hassles!  We, on the West Coast are so fortunate to have this dive destination right in our own back yard.  Join us on our chartered short, live-aboard dive trips which are perfect for those of you who have difficulty getting time off to go diving.  Andy likens the Horizon experience to "valet serviced camping on the water for adults". 

You make your own round-trip travel arrangements to San Diego.  The airport is a short 5 minute taxi ride to the port.  If you don't want to lug your gear on the plane, SWS will haul it down and back for you.  Scuba World Sacramento has been chartering the Horizon live-aboard for many years now and it is still the best!  The quality of service and the food aboard the Horizon is outstanding.

Channel Island diving has been called California's underwater Galapagos.    The underwater kelp forests, mountain ranges and marine life you see diving the Channel Islands and Cortez Banks is breathtaking.  This is Pacific Coast, cold-water diving.  A 7mm wet suit or dry suit is recommended to ensure underwater comfort in these waters.  Water temperatures range only slightly lower than what you would find diving in the Galapagos Islands or thermocline temps you encounter diving the Sea of Cortez, off Baja California, Mexico.    Water temps are definitely higher than Northern California temps.  Advanced dive skill level is recommended for diving anywhere off the Pacific Coast.  If you are a diver limiting your dive experiences to warm-water destinations, you have no idea what you are missing.  In cold water, you can see and experience underwater life that you will never find in warm water.
