I had a great dive experience with Kyaa and the Sundiver boat, with two trips to Catalina Island last Friday and Saturday. Kyaa and her deckhands, Mo and Taylor were helpful. Kyaa had good knowledge of the dive sites and gave good briefings. Safety was never a concern and I was satisfied with their roll call procedures. They were flexible with their dive sites and when conditions weren't perfect, they were happy to go to another dive site (fuel and time were not concerns to them). They truly went out of the way to make sure we had some great dives. However, I did wish that they put more effort into their COVID-19 procedures. I had a chance to compare Sundiver with another popular dive boat company, Spectre/Cal Boat Diving, and the differences were huge. Although I understand that proper social distancing is not going to be implemented perfectly on a dive boat, even at half capacity, there were things they could have done to make sure things were more sanitary/safer. My largest concern was the food. Food was mostly not prepackaged, with chips, salad, cookies and trailmix presented in a bowl/plate and everyone dipping their fingers in (no public serving utentils were used.) The lunch spread was bread and deli meats/cheese, and again, there were no public serving utensils used. Plastic utensils were placed on the table, but no one (including crew members) used utensils to serve themselves, and the crew didn't say anything about it.

This dive charter is nothing short of amazing. The Captain Kyaa and the crew were all helpful and just generally all around good people. Their knowledge of the area and their skills are top notch as well. Come with the expectation that they know their trade and the area and you will not be disappointed. My first saltwater dive and they were patient and even gave me assistance beyond what I expected. Can you give a place 10 stars?
My son (11) and I are both freshly certified divers, this was our first boat dive. Kyaa and her crew were very friendly and helpful and made us feel safe, everything was just amazing! The ride to Catalina was fast and smooth, the food was plentiful and great, their rental gear was in tip top shape, and the dive sites were beautiful. Can't wait to do it again!
My first dive in the ocean was with Kyaa on the Sundiver. We had a great time and I enjoyed the professional and relaxing environment. I look forward to visiting again and spending time with her and the Sundiver crew.
Kyaa and Ray rock! For every group of divers they have the boat. Overnight trips? They got a live aboard. Fast trips to Catalina, they got the fastest boat that can carry over 20 divers. Small groups that really want to move, they got a 6 pack that can be at Catalina in under an hour. They know the best sites with the best conditions and the coolest underwater creatures. They will keep you safe and well fed. A great dive operation
