What they say
I was very nervous to start my open water certification especially because diving is unlike anything I’ve done before. Odyssea Adventures was very organized from the beginning and made it very simple and easy to start the process. I had different instructors who helped me with my pool dives and open water dives and each of them were fantastic!! Some of the kindest, helpful, and most knowledgeable people I have ever met! I never felt unsafe and constantly had a smile on my face. The Catalina dives were amazing and I totally recommend doing the Gold tier to get multiple opportunities to dive on Catalina. I started with the silver tier but upgraded myself after how much fun the first dive was! Fletcher, Leila, and Craig were the best and always made sure I was having fun and felt comfortable! Everyone I met on my journey was amazing so I couldn’t recommend this company enough!!

I did the premium package with Odyssea for my open water diver certification and HIGHLY recommend this company. I was excited to scuba dive but a bit nervous at first. By the end of the certification, I couldn't wait to jump in the water. The small class size with great instructors gave me confidence to dive and be able to really enjoy it. I went on two trips to Catalina in the certification, and seeing the kelp forests and wildlife there is one of the coolest things I have ever experienced. A bonus to the whole experience was spending time on the boat with really cool people who were interested in the same things as me. The program was also incredibly flexible around my schedule which I really appreciated. If you are a new diver in San Diego or Southern California, this is the best company around.

I’m so glad that I chose to do my Open Water certification with Odyssea Adventures! Captain Fletcher runs an amazing diving company with only the best crew. Instructors Annie and Leila were super fun, knowledgeable, and thorough all throughout my learning. I’m looking forward to going on more dives and furthering my diver education with them. Catalina next!! Thanks guys 🙂

Super fun adventure! Fletcher and his team (Alex and Chris) made it an awesome trip. Dove the Ruby E and the Yukon. Yukon is the top wreck I wanted to dive in San Diego and they made it happen. Alex was professional but not overbearing as the dive master, and Chris was the perfect dive buddy (not too close but not too far and keeping me pointed in the right direction). Definitely would dive again with Odyssea Adventures!

Diving with Odysea gives you a sense of community and allows you to meet some great people. You can feel completely safe all while having fun and joking around. I had the pleasure of having Lila as my guide for the Catalina dive trip which I 10/10 recommend. I love food and in between dives you will be impressed at the feast that the Capt puts out! She was amazing, clear, concise and made sure we knew our dive plan before each and every dive!

Captain Fletcher was super knowledgeable and very personable. He knew where to go to get a great view of dolphins and it was amazing - tens of thousands of dolphins as far as the eye could see! The boat was comfortable and the snacks were a nice bonus!

ABOUT ME
Hey, I'm Fletcher!
Thank you for taking the time to learn more about me and my journey to becoming the founder and CEO of Odyssea by Fletcher SCUBA Co.
- Thousands of dives
- Master Instructor
- Passion for the ocean
There is wisdom that is gained after every dive and I couldn’t get enough of it. I can’t wait to share my passion, knowledge, and experience diving in the world’s oceans with you. Scuba diving will give you access to witnessing worlds unknown, to coming closer to wildlife than you thought was possible and to respecting something that is much greater than oneself.
About MeOur Team
Master Scuba Diver Trainer, PADI Open Water Scuba Instructor Leila S.
If you’re looking for a scuba diving instructor who’s traded in their economics textbooks for a life of underwater shenanigans, Leila’s your gal. With 18 years of diving experience and a passion for ocean conservation that rivals her love of nudibranches, she’s ditched the 9-to-5 to teach people how to breathe underwater without freaking out. She’s taught in Mexico, Colombia, and the US, and can yell at you in Dutch, English, and Spanish if you don’t follow safety protocols.
Leila’s PADI courses include all the usual suspects, plus some fancy stuff like wreck diving and fish identification, because who doesn’t want to be a marine life detective? She calls herself an “ambling scuba diver,” which is just a fancy way of saying she likes to take her sweet time underwater, observing the sea creatures and probably making friends with the octopuses.
PADI Divemaster Joy A.
Meet Joy — a Brazilian ocean addict with a passport full of stamps and a wetsuit that’s seen more countries than most people. Her dive journey began in the warm, glassy waters of Brazil, but she didn’t stop there. She’s worked on the Great Barrier Reef, wandered through Asia’s underwater playgrounds, and chased bubbles across the globe.
But it was California’s wild kelp forests and playful sea lions that truly stole her heart. One dive at La Jolla Cove and she was hooked — especially after a sea lion tried to photobomb her selfie. Today, Joy calls the waters of La Jolla and Catalina Island her favorite underwater homes (and she swears the local sea lions know her by name).
As a divemaster, Joy leads with safety, follows up with fun, and always brings a contagious love for the ocean. If you’re lucky, she might even show you the secret spot where the fish do backflips.
