Mission Bay, California Wreck Alley Wreck Alley is an artificial reef approximately one mile off the San Diego coast near Mission Bay. There are a number of wrecks (large and small) near San Diego, however there are six wrecks that highlight Wreck Alley dives. The flagship wreck dive is the Yukon.

Wreck Alley affords us the ability to dive and learn basic to advanced level wreck diving techniques in our back yard. Wake up in the morning and spend the day learning the ropes from the very best. Classroom sessions are done either at the Scuba Training Facility in Phoenix Arizona, or at the conference center in Mission Bay Marina.

  • Explore the British Virgin Islands
    JUST ENOUGH bCHARTERl u • BROKEewaterRAGE • TRAINING • CREW • MANAGEMENT As a yacht charter destination, the BVIs are almost impossible to beat, with over 50 pretty islands scattered like lush gems across the turquoise sea. The islands are located within a short distance of each other, making cruising effortless, and the BVIs offer a multitude of stunning anchorages as well as glamorous superyacht marinas. Providing excellent shelter and calm, crystal clear seas, the BVIs also receive the Caribbean trade winds, making the archipelago a famously good sailing ground as well as a great place for thrilling water sports like kitesurfing. On a BVIs yacht charter, there is something for everyone. Dive the wreck of the HMS Rhone off Salt Beach, one of the great dives of the Caribbean, or snorkel through the Virgin Gorda Baths, where huge granite boulders create a glimmering playground of sapphire lagoons and ethereal grottos. Hike up to Virgin Gorda Peak for breath-taking views of the archipelago, or horse ride along a beach in Tortola, coconuts washing up on the shore. Strap on your dive tank and make your way along the unforgettable Wreck Alley, where airplanes and boats have been submerged for divers, or just drink coconuts and read books in a hammock in dreamy Trunk Bay. The BVIs are incredibly, deeply peaceful, with no Jet Skis allowed to break the tranquil vibe of lapping sea and afternoon breezes. On the glorious coral atoll of Anegada, explore the 16 miles of powder soft beaches, and watch flamingos stalk across the flats, bright pink against sand and sky.
