Diving Courses
Learn to Scuba Dive with OEX the oldest dive company in La Jolla, which has been training divers, including hundreds of SD lifeguards, in San Diego since 1995! Our mission is to safely prepare you to enjoy a lifetime of diving anywhere in the world.
Once you get certified in La Jolla, which is well known to diver’s as California’s Underwater Yosemite, you will be fully prepared to dive anywhere on the planet. The sea life in La Jolla, unlike most of the world, will actively socialize with you and we have two completely different amazing dives, Canyon Wall and Kelp Forest, within one mile of one another! You will not only get certified but will be able to dive California’s best dive spots with California’s best dive instructors!
OEX Dive & Kayak La Jolla offers courses for a beginning diver all the way up to a Dive Master! We are a small boutique dive shop that focuses on private all-inclusive classes tailored to your needs and experience. By keeping our classes private each diver is given individual attention by our excellent instructors who help you every step of the way. We don’t believe in large group class environments, and you will never be certified in a class larger than 4 people. We don’t think it is safe, and we don’t believe you are properly certified when you are in a class of 8 to 12 students!
What is required is you study prior to your pool dive. After your pool dive you have four open ocean dives in La Jolla. The entire process can take as little as three days or a couple weeks. We will go at your rate! Once you complete your final exam and final dive you are certified for life, and we will send you your PADI Open Water Dive Card so you can explore a whole new world!

- The use of our Rental SCUBA gear, including a Wetsuit with hood, Regulator-setup, Buoyancy Control Device (BCD), Weights, and Tanks with Air-fills
