Channel Islands Scuba's Facilities Are Available For Industry Rentals
This facility has been thoughtfully designed specifically for Scuba Diver Training. It boasts a wide 4ft deep shallow end and a straight vertical drop off to 12 ft. deep, providing ample underwater space that is optimal for Scuba and breath hold training, as well as underwater photo shoots. Our facility is tailored to meet the needs of those who require maximum underwater space.
Our location is situated in the back of a commercial shopping center, which offers easy access to nearby restaurants and grocery stores. You can take advantage of our semi-private parking lot, which provides ample space with 30+ parking spots available. It’s important to note that we are located between a couple of active loading docks for big box retail stores. As a result, you may witness trucks and trailers backing and turning in the parking lot, which could impact noise levels around the pool area. We share a wall with residential homes, and out of respect for our neighbors, we do our best to keep noise levels to a minimum between 6 pm and 8 am. We appreciate your understanding and cooperation in this matter.
The pool is under the ownership and management of the attached Scuba Center, and it is important that any use of the pool does not disrupt their operations. Since the dive center is attached to the pool, you have the advantage of accessing expert knowledge in scuba diving and breath holding techniques. Additionally, you have the option to hire a professional dive instructor or rent scuba equipment if you need. The rental comes with benches and tables, as seen in photos, and you can also rent additional equipment for background displays or in-water use.
To ensure the safety and comfort of all, we kindly ask that you refrain from smoking, consuming food, or drinking alcohol in the pool area. This policy is in place to maintain a clean and healthy environment for everyone to enjoy. However, if you have catering needs, please feel free to utilize the parking lot area. We kindly ask that you refrain from any alcohol consumption as it is a public space. Thank you for your understanding and cooperation in helping us provide a pleasant experience for all of our guests.
