Dive and Photo

Dive and Photo is an owner-operated dive shop in Orange County, California — created by divers, for divers. Personal, hands-on customer service is the heart of the experience here, backed by a curated selection of quality scuba equipment and a genuine passion for underwater photography.

Courses and instruction

As a PADI 5 Star IDC with 7 PADI instructors, the shop keeps classes small — a maximum of just 4 students, meaning you get a semi-private course at the regular price. Schedules flex around you rather than the other way around, and PADI Scuba Diving and PADI TecRec training are both on offer. Instruction is available in English and Czech.

Local Orange County waters are home to sharks, whales, turtles, rays, eels, echinoderms and plenty of ocean fish. On site you'll find a classroom, air-conditioning, free Wi-Fi, a retail shop and parking, plus air fills, nitrox, equipment sales and rental, and scooter (DPV) rental. It suits divers who value close attention and want to grow behind the lens.
