 THE
DIVING
The
Ocean and Islands off-shore California offer world class diving.
Catalina Island, San Clemente Island
and Las Islas Coronado
offer a chance to escape the bustle of shore diving and really
do some exploring off-shore. The Sea of Cortez, just south of
the border, offers the chance to dive tropical waters. During the
years
here we have dived with Large Rays, Elephant Seals, California
Sea-Lions,Harbor seals and a host of other marine animals. We
once saw a whale underwater near Cabo San Lucas.
PRIVATE LESSONS
If you wish to learn how to
Scuba Dive, or have a hankering to improve your skills and to learn
other
skills
underwater, then
the Marco Polo Connection is the place to start. We use a fast
local private dive charter boat and limit our numbers to six or
less. We organize trips for small classes or just for fun to the
local Coronado Islands. These Pristine offshore islands are a local
treasure and a marine Paradise. Visiting the calm lee side of the
North Island is like taking a trip to an exotic dive spa. The sun
usually shines and the water is usually calm. The visibility is
often in excess of 50 ft. There is a host of good underwater stuff
to see and the locale is first class. We have spotted the rare
Guadalupe Cardinal fish here. Several times, on a trip to the Islands
we have
been able to swim with huge Ocean Sun Fish.
 Travel time is usually less than an hour.
We provide tanks and weights, a pleasant lunch and a dive guide
to dive with you. The
boat is equipt with hot showers, bunks and full safety gear. We
are able to rent full 7 mm wet suits and all associated equipment.
If you do not know how to dive consider taking our resort course
that
qualifies you to dive in company with an instructor. He will take
you on an underwater experience to be treasured. We also offer
snorkling trips to the islands. It has been our experience that
snorkling offers almost as much fun as diving.
SEA of CORTEZ
We will, on request, put together
a custom dive trip to the Sea of Cortez. On these expeditions we
will accommodate
you in a small
palapa or tented campsite and do some really exotic diving in a
locale seldom visited. We also operate small fully custom trips
to the peublito of Bahia de los Angeles, Baja California, in season
between September and May.
