Looking For An Underwater Adventure?
Channel Islands Scuba is a dedicated Dive Center, giving us the specialized knowledge to meet all your diving needs. We are affiliated with the following organizations:
INTERNATIONAL TRAINING
From its humble beginning in 1994 to today, the group of training agencies Scuba Diving International (SDI), Technical Diving International (TDI), and Performance Freediving International (PFI) form one of the largest diving certification agencies in the World – International Training.
Channel Islands Scuba is proud to be an SDI 5 Star Dive Center, A TDI Technical Diving Center, and a PFI 5 Star Freediver Training Center.
Channel Islands Scuba has partnered with Diveheart to provide training to Adaptive Divers and Adaptive Dive Buddies.
The purpose of Diveheart is to provide and support educational scuba diving programs that are open to any child, adult or veteran with a disability, with the hope of providing both physical and psychological therapeutic value to that person.
We’ve discovered the forgiving, weightless wonder of the water column provides the perfect gravity-free environment for those who might otherwise struggle on land. Underwater, we’re all equal.
Diveheart works with individuals who have a variety of disabilities, including physical and developmental disabilities, vision and hearing impairments, amputations, traumatic brain injuries, Post Traumatic Stress Disorder and more. Diveheart seeks to help its participants “Imagine the Possibilities” in their lives.
DAN
DAN is the premier source for diving physiology, medical assistance, and dive insurance. As DAN Industry Partners, all of our students receive complimentary dive insurance that covers them during their Open Water training.
DEMA
Membership in DEMA ensures that we are staying in touch with equipment updates in the dive industry. With a keen focus on conservation and protection of our aquatic resources, DEMA and their members are working hard to ensure you can dive for years to come.
PSI-PCI
SCUBA cylinders are filled to high pressure. Without proper maintenance, inspection, and testing, they could pose a significant hazard. PSI-PCI is devoted to training inspectors on how to identify issues and properly perform air station operations, to keep cylinders in a safe operating condition. Certification as a Premier Facility indicates that all of our staff are trained on proper air station operations, and that we use only PSI-PCI trained inspectors for visual inspection and maintenance on not only our cylinders, but our customers’ as well.
TRI Air Testing
As divers, we have a saying, “as long as you have air, you’re okay.” But that air needs to be high quality – proper oxygen level, proper dryness, particle free, oil free… The list goes on and on. Given that air needs to be compressed mechanically to get to the required pressures to fill cylinders, a lot can happen. That is why we test our air and post the results in the shop. You deserve to know that we are maintaining our equipment, and that the air you are breathing from our fills meets standards. It is your link back to the surface. Don’t accept air fills from a shop that isn’t willing to share this information with you.
