🌊 Channel Islands Scuba Dive Trip [November 22nd 2026]

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.

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.
