Aboard the Peace Boat one last time...

Join Blue Holic Scuba for a full day of diving at the Channel Islands aboard the iconic Peace Boat. This trip offers classic Southern California diving—kelp forests, rocky reefs, and abundant marine life—paired with a spacious, diver-focused boat and experienced crew.

2026 marks the final year of the Peace Boat’s operations.
This vessel has been a flagship of Blue Holic Scuba for over eight years, and while we’re sad to see it go, we’re grateful for the many incredible dive days it’s given our community. These remaining trips are a special opportunity to dive one last time aboard a boat that has meant a lot to us—and to many of you.
