Bamboo Reef is no stranger to the Best Of seahorse rodeo: they’ve served Monterey’s diving need for 38 years and been voted as the best 11 times now. Beyond their stock of regulators, tanks, wet/dry suits and snorkeling gear, they provide certification services for SCUBA and beyond, like First Aid/CPR. For visitors and locals alike, they lead daily dive tours of Monterey Bay; for the more adventurous, they also lead monthly boat dive tours to explore marine worlds up and down the Central Coast.
