Waterhorse Charters truly exceeded my expectations and provided the best dive charter experience I’ve ever had. From the owners to the crew, everyone is top-tier. I had the pleasure of meeting Zach, one of the owners, at the Scuba Show, and I corresponded with his wife Karina over email to make changes. The entire booking process was seamless and professional. My girlfriend, who often accompanies me on dive trips, mentioned that Captain Charles was the nicest captain she’s ever met. The divemasters I had, Brandon and Jon, are probably the best dive guides I’ve ever had. I can confidently say they gave me my favorite dives of all time so far. I initially heard about Waterhorse Charters from an instructor in Hawaii and the Azul Unlimited YouTube channel, so my expectations were high—and they met or exceeded every one of them. If you’re looking to dive cold water in the San Diego area, Waterhorse Charters is the way to go.

I recently had an incredible experience with Waterhorse Charters on a trip to the Coronado Islands! The crew made the entire day exceptional from start to finish. Gaby was attentive and ensured that everyone felt welcome and prepared, offering all the support we needed throughout the trip. Ben was incredibly knowledgeable about the islands and their marine life, making every stop interesting and educational. Brandon’s professionalism and friendly attitude added to the overall comfort and enjoyment of the journey. And a big shout out to Charles, who kept everything running smoothly and made sure we had a safe and memorable adventure. Thank you, Waterhorse Charters, for a wonderful day on the water. I highly recommend this experience to anyone looking to explore the beauty of the Coronado Islands with a top-notch crew!

Why go somewhere else? The location of the boat means you get in and out of the harbor quickly. Thorough safety and dive briefing. The hot shower ensures you're warm and comfortable for second and third dive. Don't underestimate the wonder of the hot soups. They convert surface intervals from a mere necessity to something to look forward to and warm you up for the next dive

Zach and the Waterhorse crew are outstanding and safety conscious dive professionals! When I want to go boat diving I go to Waterhorse first. They take us to the best sites and offer in depth dive site briefings and always have the best interest of the divers! If you only have one day to dive go to Waterhorse!

This is the best dive company in San Diego hands down. I have been diving with Waterhorse charters for almost three years now and every trip it never ceases to amaze me how helpful, kind, and attentive the crew is. Zack helped out last week to get lobster season rolling and I came home with four of them! Don’t look anywhere else if you are wanting to dive in San Diego.

According to the comments from the crew, the three days we spent diving with waterhorse charters we were lucky enough to find the best conditions recently. Amazing days plus amazing crew made this diving days totally unforgettable 💙 Great job for awesome briefings, dive management and always noticing the little details that can make a huge difference Definitely will be coming back over and over again.

Waterhorse took a a full group divers to the Coronado Islands yesterday. Super visibility, great sea lion activity and tons of fish. Another fun dive trip!

Rented a large yacht for a total of 18 of us. The crew were super friendly and accommodating. Loved that they had ice for us so we could keep things cool. The overall experience was great. The boat was large enough for everyone. We docked and were able to swim around freely. Everyone had a great time. I would definitely recommend this experience and would do it again. The only thing I was left wanting was a longer experience. We were out for 3 hours but everyone had enough stamina for 5-6 hours.

I was in town and wanted to dive wreck alley, and came across waterhorse. Originally the trip was fully booked, but they were able swap their bookings to make more space on the wreck trip, which was great! The captain and divemaster were both knowledgeable and courteous, and the boat was great. 100% reccomend waterhorse if you are looking for a boat dive experience in San Diego!
