Monterey Bay Dive Charters

History

Established in 1982.

MBDC has been training and guiding divers in Monterey for over twenty years. Originally opening as Monterey Bay Dive Center in 1980’s, the company has evolved from the dream of a few local divers, to one of the premier dive shops on the peninsula at the turn of the century, to an integrated training and guided diving service in its present form. In 2007 MBDC went corporate and was renamed Monterey Bay Dive Company.

During the global financial challenges of 2009, MBDC arose from the crisis as Monterey Bay Dive Charters offering guided tour and training services conducted by a highly experienced local staff of professional divemasters and instructors. It continues today servicing a national and international clientele of travelling divers and ocean enthusiasts, providing in-​water guides and equipment rental.
