Join Niki as she takes you through the all new Marine Life Identification class.  This is the class you have all been asking for. Understand the majority of the marine life you see during your dives, but just don't know what the heck it is.  Class time is 630pm to 9pm followed by another next Wedensday. Call 888-99-SCUBA for reservations.

If you are looking into getting into scuba for the first time...please read this before spending hours on our super cool website.  Diving is a life support orientated sport. Unlike things like bowling, soccer and vollyball, it requires a certain amount of disipline and common sense to be comfortable in a hostile environment like the ocean.

With that being said, SSA knows you have choices you need to make to become a certified scuba diver. Time, money, and safety just to name a few.  The diving industry is full of quickey, short and unprofessional diving programs. If you are looking for that type of program...please save yourself the time an look no further in this website.  If you are concerned with your safety and you want to be taught by the best the diving industry has to offer...then please stay.

The typical diving certification program is a two to three day program...THIS IS NOT ONE OF THEM.  It takes weeks, sometimes even months,  to develop safe diving habits. We will not certify you as a diver until you have developed your habits.  Our instructors have been trained to hold your hand through every step of the the instruction process to assure your safety and comfortability.  All of our instructors are full time instructors. You won't have "Bob the Builder or Billy in the Bike Department" as one of your instructors. We are not here to sell you a certification card.....period.

If you would like an instructor to get back to you today email one at rusty@scubaschoolsofamerica.com  

Of course SSA is the only dive store in Southern California that continously takes pictures of all of our divers and posts them just for your enjoyment!  No MUPPET divers!!!

SSA introduces another way that travel vendors, boat opporators, divemasters and instructors can have additional assurance that the rebreather divers on their watch have done what they are supposed to do before a rebreather dive. Click here to see the Pre Dive Planner.
