Charters:
โ
Venice Dive Charter now offers two boats for your convenience; the Catalina Grace in the morning and the Angelina in the afternoon. Both boats will have Fossil Guide/Dive Master Ben on board. Ben will tell you all about the location you are diving and give you pointers on the best way of finding the fossilized shark teeth at each spot. Meet Catalina Grace at 7 am or Angelina at 12:15 pm for two tank charters. Catalina Grace runs every day, Angelina runs Monday's, Thursday's and Friday's, weather permitting.

Training Classes:
โ
Venice Dive Center is a NAUI Platinum Pro scuba training facility. We currently have three contracted NAUI Instructors who offer training up to your Dive Master level. Our instructors are also shop employees, so you can come in the store on most days and be able to speak with at least one instructor for your education needs. Once you earn your DM, we can recommend an Instructor Trainer if your goal is to become an instructor. We offer monthly group Open Water level classes with a max of 6 students. If you'd prefer one-on-one training or you have young children, we also offer Private Classes. There is a maximum of three students for Private.
