Congratulations to our newest Open Water divers!

This is what it’s all about. Watching an adventurer’s eyes light up the very first time they experience the underwater world is pretty hard to beat.

All you adventure seekers… what are you waiting for? The Aquarius fam is waiting for you!

Come get certified and start your next adventure with us!

Shark Night was a success!
What an amazing night of learning, conversation, and community! We’re so grateful to everyone who came out and made the evening so special.
A huge thank you to Nathan Perisic for an incredible presentation and sharing your knowledge with us, Laurel Browning for the sweet treats, and of course, our amazing dive community for showing up and making nights like this possible!
We’re looking forward to all of our monthly events coming up! More learning, more diving, and more time together!

Monterey Bay by day is incredible. Monterey Bay at night is something else entirely. 

As the sun disappears, the kelp forests transform into a whole new world. Octopus begin to roam, nudibranchs glow beneath your dive light, seals come out to hunt and countless other creatures reveal themselves in ways you may never see during the day.

Ready to see Monterey Bay in a whole new light? Experience it with Aquarius Dive Shop through a Night Diver Specialty Course, our weekly Dive Club night dives, or a private night dive tour!

Aquarius would like to invite our dive community to join us for a Guest Speaker night presented by Nathan Perisic, MSc. We’ll dive into how shark sightings can help scientists better understand the health of our local ecosystem and what these incredible animals can tell us about a changing Monterey Bay. 

No club dive this evening! We’re swapping our tanks for an evening of learning! 

Come curious! Come learn with us!
