Dolphin Scuba Center is proud to be Northern California’s premier SSI Diamond Certified SCUBA training facility and showroom featuring the industry’s most trusted brands. We are here to train, certify, and get our new and returning dive and swim buddies in the water! To all of our new students, Welcome! To our returning divers, dive pros, and instructors, thank you for trusting us with your SCUBA, free diving, and swim journeys. After nearly 50 years, we still continue striving to be your one-stop shop to get you back in the water.

I cannot speak highly enough of the entire Dolphin team! This was our first trip with Dolphin and definitely not our last. The entire trip was thoughtfully organized, communication was on point, safety was a priority, and so much more. The pre-trip meeting was not only informative but included a printed packet for each diver. This included all information for the trip (resort, dive boat, flight, etc. all printed for you,) and gathered all forms to provide to the dive company and resort prior to our check in - making the check in time shorter. During the trip the team made sure to keep everyone updated as to harbor conditions, boat and dive guide changes, gear repair information and a check in day meeting to give pertinent information. As the trip came to a conclusion the fight and airport shuttle times, check out instructions were handled and communicated. We had such a fabulous trip!

This was my best group dive trip so far and all of Dolphin Dive trips are fun. It was jus a little bit more special because of the sincerely friendly people that work at the resort. At the dive shop, as well as the wait staff. They go out of their way to relate and accommodate you. Even when not expected. And the dives with the Tiger sharks were amazing. The shark wranglers were so at ease with them. I will likely return for this trip, but not sure because there are so many other trips that I haven't done yet that look interesting.

I had a great time. Everything was well organized. The diving was amazing especially the Thistlegorm.

Great trip although it was rainy and windy. The service from resort staff and Dolphin leadership was outstanding

Another great time was had by all. When a typhoon closed diving, a quick pivot was made to keep everyone entertained and engaged. Dive staff took extra care with the safety of all as the water had a bit of a surge and some interesting wavers. As always, the service was over the top with teh dive staff handling all the gear and cameras so you could walk hands free to the boats (with a one or two person escort if desired) to ensure our safety. Albert and his restaurant team made sure the food was fantastic and the service excellent, remembering the little things like how much ice you like in your water. Overall a great time and we appreciate it. Highly recommend this resort, even if you are not much scuba diving!
