Ron Moore's Dive Catalina shop is a very convenient and very customer friendly shop where we not only got great advice about where to spearfish but he also dropped us off and picked us back up when we were done. WOW could not have asked for better service. Pebbly Beach had great visibility today, about 70 ft and we discovered... More

Another satisfied customer. I took my nephew for his 12th bday to Catalina n it was a last minute decision to scuba dive. It was an awesome experience. We enjoyed it thoroughly n my nephew hopes to take some diving courses n go back again. I forgot my bathing suit at the dive shop n the owners were great to... More

My wife and me recently spent three nights in Avalon and wanted to do some scuba diving. Talked to all of the three shops on the island, and went with Dive Catalina. We had a nice day with Shannon who guided us on all of our three dives - the location just off the casino is very nice and Shannon... More

I've been diving for years and can thank Ron completely for the initial dive. I've been to Catalina many times and always seek Ron out for dives, advice on diving and even the occasional beer. Now that they have the boat Catalina Grace, I can't wait to hit the island for Lobster when the season opens. Don't miss out on... More

Not sure what happened here but I will chalk it up to the island being very slow this time of year but we checked out this shop based on the reviews and couldn't get anyone to answer the phone. When we did get through they told us to come down to the office, we did, and no one showed up.... More

I am stunned to see your review. Dive Catalina was closed the first two weeks of January and the owner and management off the island. We working on a new dive boat. Snorkeling Catalina is in the same shop but a separate company. They may have had a part time employee answering phones, as it is slow that time of... More

My family stopped by to inquire about snorkeling trips and Ron, the owner, looked at us like we were crazy and made a comment under his breathe we didn´t catch. We clearly knew it was raining that day but that is not the day we wanted to go. We felt so uncomfortable that we ended up leaving. More

Ron Moore and Connie Rae (shop manager & expert fulfiller of all diving needs!) at Dive Catalina run one of the friendliest, most professional dive operations I've come across. I am a fellow dive instructor, and make the quick trip out to Avalon to dive with Dive Catalina every chance I get. My most recent trip out to the island... More

I’ve had the pleasure of enjoying multiple diving experiences with Ron Moore and Dive Catalina. Ron is the consummate professional and has made each trip a memorable one. Through the years, Ron has arranged and led advanced diving adventures that I would never have experienced were it not for him. His love and respect for the ocean and the people... More

I'm a fellow Scuba Instructor and I compare my skills to Ron Moore's at Dive Catalina as a guide for me to better myself. You just won't find a better Scuba Instructor or Divemaster. Ron has a boat getting delivered to Catalina in December and will start doing Scuba Diving Charters on his boat by January. I'm trying to be... More
