The Palos Verdes coastline is like a hidden gem. It has so much to offer and seems to get overlooked with divers wanting to go to the islands. For the photographer, hunter, and sightseer it could even be better than the islands. Dive with us and find out for yourself! 

The Palos Verdes coast has much to offer and why is that? The reason is much of it is very hard to get to unless you are a hardy beach diver. Divers with their own boats have been diving the Palos Verdes area for years because they know how great the diving can be. You will find deeper reefs with lots of life to shallow beautiful reefs lush with kelp and fish. For the photographer, it can be nudibranch heaven and for the sightseer, you won’t get bored because there is something for everyone. 

Advanced certification (AOW) or equivalent California experience required.  Dive conditions could include cold water, current, swell, possible limited visibility and deep water. Surface Marker Buoys (SMB) are required for all divers, due to the possibility of being caught down current. 

The Giant Stride dive boat has been a favorite of local SoCal divers for years and has an excellent following. It is owned and operated by Captain Jim. He and the crew does an excellent job and they know how to make customers happy! The Giant Stride is a private 6-pack dive charter boat catering to underwater photographers, tech divers, and small groups of divers.
Features a full galley and a 3500psi compressor. Read more about the Giant Stride HERE.
