Under the Casino: Avalon’s Deluxe Snorkel Kit for Catalina’s Submerged Gardens

Under the Casino: Avalon’s Deluxe Snorkel Kit for Catalina’s Submerged Gardens.
Avalon’s shoreline and clear kelp-strewn bays draw snorkelers for good reason, and Catalina Divers Supply outfits visitors with a deluxe, full set of gear so you can spend hours beneath the surface rather than fussing with equipment. The dive shop’s rental and retail operations, including a shop on the bottom floor of the Catalina Casino Building and an alternate rental point on the Pleasure Pier, make it straightforward to rent or buy everything from masks and fins to wetsuits and identification cards.

What the day feels like
What it feels like
You pick up a matched set, get a quick fit, and then trade the bustle of the pier for the slow, suspended world beneath Avalon’s surface — the rental kit is meant to minimize setup and maximize time in the water so you can focus on the marine life rather than gear. Whether you’re borrowing for a single outing or keeping the set for a few days, the dive center’s stock and extras make it practical for both first-timers and seasoned snorkelers.
