Beach Cities Scuba is a PADI 5-Star Instructor Development Center and a Project AWARE 100% aware location, serving Orange, Los Angeles, and San Diego Counties since 1963. The business offers scuba instruction, scuba/water related retail items, exotic travel, local travel, and scuba equipment maintenance. The staff at Beach Cities Scuba are generally described as great, helpful, and understanding. The boat captain and his assistant were also praised for making the open water course experience enjoyable. However, some customers have had issues with equipment problems and poor treatment from certain staff members. While the customer service is often excellent, the equipment used during charters has been described as dated and in poor condition, with missing items like rental fins. Some customers felt the dive experience was overpriced for the quality of the offering. Despite these mixed reviews, Beach Cities Scuba is still recommended by customers, especially for those new to scuba diving or looking for a friendly, small-town dive shop experience.
The staff here is awesome. I went in when Joe and Patrick were working, we spent a long time getting my scuba setup dialed in perfectly. The gear I ended up purchasing was suited for my particular scuba requirements and it all worked flawlessly in the water. As I progress in scuba I'll be going here first. Thanks again,... read full comment

My son has received multiple dive certifications here and we purchased all our dive gear here. The instructors are knowledgeable, patient, and fun. Prices are very fair and sales staff are all helpful and friendly. They understand not everyone wants to pay for or can afford top end gear.
