Meet Your Guide - Nick

One of my biggest lobsters at Corona Del Mar Beach

As a California native, my entire life has been spent by the sea. I grew up swimming in the ocean and sharing my passion for diving is one of the greatest joys in my life.

I have 25 years of experience as a certified PADI Open Water Diver and logged over 100 tanks as an avid SCUBA diver across the western hemisphere beach diving, boat diving and kayak diving.

Additionally, I am obsessed with lobster hunting, constantly improving my spearfishing skillset and love all aspects of underwater photography.

I am a strong swimmer with high endurance and very comfortable in the water, so I will be able to physically assist you during the dive if you feel uncomfortable.

On a daily basis, I review oceanographic data to anticipate the best local dive sites in real time.

"This experience way beyond what I expected. Nick was incredibly professional, he came prepared with all the equipments in different sizes tailored to fit you enable you to dive comfortably. I also felt really safe while snorkeling with him around. After the dive, he will make sure you are stuffed with surprise dishes made from the fishes we just caught!"

"Read all the reviews and couldn't agree more. Nick was very attentive and willing to work with my specific needs. Im not a swimmer, but appreciate the water and he was patient with me while I adjusted. While we only caught a little perch, it was still a very unique experience and the food was tasty. I enjoyed seeing the schools of fish. Would definitely recommend."
