  • Best for confident swimmers who enjoy free movement in the water
  • Included as part of tours like Catalina Island

Scuba Doo

Guided Underwater Scooter

  • Ride an underwater scooter at about 3 meters deep with constant air supply
  • No swimming skill required — the scooter does the work
  • Best if you want to go deeper without diving certification
