Great Escape Dive Boat (Visit this link)

Multiple Day Live-Aboard Trips- Divers prepare for their night dive at San Clemente Island. Our multiple day live-aboard dive trips provide the finest California diving available. We often visit sites that are too remote for day trips. On some trips we explore deep offshore reefs and pinnacles; Cortes Bank, Begg Rock, and Tanner Bank. We also visit outer islands; San Nicolas Island, the back side of San Clemente Island, and San Miguel Island, You will have the opportunity to make five to nine dives on every day but the last, including at least one dive each night. On the last day there will be at least three dives before we return to port. We will visit a combination of both known sites, and explore new ones. We usually start each day with an advanced dive at a deep reef or pinnacle. Then we progress to shallower sites as the day develops. The day will end with an twilight and night dive at our anchoring spot for the night. We always file a multiple day trip declaration with the Department of Fish and Game, so you may bring home a multiple day bag limit.

Limited Load Trips- Our standard load is 35 passengers, even though we are Coast Guard certified for 49. Yet because of our large well organized deck with sit down tank racks and spacious galley that comfortably seats 30, you will never feel crowded. However many experienced divers, especially underwater photographers and hunters, appreciate the advantages of diving with a less people in the water. When conditions permit at especially spectacular advanced dive sites, we will sometimes stay and do multiple dives. This gives you an additional opportunity to explore a site that is rarely visited. The longer surface interval required for such sites means we may get one or two less dives in that day, however the breathtaking beauty of such sites as Tanner Bank and Begg Rock are well worth the trade. If you are a diver with advanced skills, these dive trips offer opportunities you will find nowhere else. Your limited load trip on the Great Escape will provide the most outstanding diving Southern California has to offer. This is a dive trip you will always fondly remember.

Single Day Trips- Single Day Trips can be run to most destinations. Catalina Island, Santa Barbara Island, the lee side of San Clemente Island, and local wrecks are the usual destinations since the longer running times to other sites limits the time available for diving. On your single day dive trip aboard Great Escape you will have the opportunity to make at least three dives. If time and conditions permit, four dives are possible.

New Moon Lobster SpecialTM- New Moon Lobster SpecialsTM are the dives lobster hunters dream about. Full nights of diving for bugs! The nights are chosen on a new moon to ensure complete darkness.
