About the Program
The Wrigley Marine Science Center (WMSC) on Catalina Island is an ideal base for underwater research with convenient access to both temperate nearshore and open water environments. Situated in Big Fisherman's Cove, a nearby marine life refuge established in 1989 offers soft clean sediment, kelp forests and a wide diversity of marine life. The waters just a short distance offshore are deep enough for excellent blue-water diving.
The USC Wrigley Institute conducts a university dive program in accordance with the standards set forth by the American Academy of Underwater Sciences (AAUS). USC is an AAUS Organizational Member and recognizes dive certifications from other AAUS organizational members through reciprocity.
Underwater research at the WMSC requires active AAUS Scientific Diver certification for every member of the diving party.
How to Dive with the USC Scientific Diving Program
Our current Diving Safety Manual is available here.
USC Divers:
The following steps are required for USC Scientific Divers to dive with our program:
- Research at the Wrigley Marine Science Center and within the marine refuge must be approved by the Diving Safety Officer (DSO) and the Assistant Director of Scientific Operations, Wrigley Marine Science Center, Lauren Oudin. Applicants must fill out a Research Activity Plan.
- Contact the USC DSO to request a copy of the USC Scientific Diver Information Form. This form requires divers to provide proof of the following: Scuba medical clearance, SCUBA certification, DAN (or equivalent) dive medical insurance, CPR, AED, First Aid and O2 certification, and proof of gear service within the previous 12 months or a purchase receipt within the previous 12 months.
- Register in the USC Diver Database. USC scientific divers are required to log all training dives. Once registered and activated, it is the diver’s responsibility to maintain their certifications. Divers may check their certification expiration via their profile page. All certifications and dive logs must be current before dive plans will be considered for approval. If there are any questions, please contact the DSO.
- All USC divers must complete acheck out dive with the DSO. Check out dives are regularly scheduled at the Wrigley Marine Science Center on Catalina (1st Thursday of the month) or on the mainland (2nd Saturday of the month at Redondo Beach Veterans Park), or at other times of convenience to the diver. Please contact the DSO to schedule your check out dive.
During your check out dive, you will be required to show proficiency in the following skills:- Surface dive to 10 feet in open water without scuba
- Air sharing (donor and receiver)
- Enter and leave open water, surf or diving vessel while geared up
- Surface kick 400 yards in scuba gear, but while not breathing on scuba
- Maneuverability at and below the surface
- Simulated emergency swimming ascent
- Mask and regulator clearing while submerged
- Achieve and maintain neutral buoyancy
- Self- and buddy rescue
- Underwater navigation
- Dive planning
- Judgment adequate for safe diving
Once you are current in all your requirements, you may submit your Dive Planonline. Checkout dive plans should be submitted for approval at least seven days prior to planned dive operations (please contact the DSO directly if your plans necessitate a faster turnaround time). All other Dive plans must be submitted online and receive approval from the DSO at least 24 hours prior to dive operations.
The following steps are required for Non-USC Scientific Divers from other AAUS organizational members to dive with our program:
- Research at the Wrigley Marine Science Center and within the marine refuge must be approved by the Diving Safety Officer (DSO) and the WMSC Laboratory Manager, Lauren Oudin. The online Research Activity Plan is available here, and our current Diving Safety Manual is available here.
- Please submit the following to the USC DSO:
Letter of Reciprocity (LOR)
Approved Dive Plan from your DSO. LORs and Dive Plans must be submitted and receive approval from the USC DSO at least 24 hours prior to the dive operation. - All divers conducting scientific dive operations at the Wrigley Marine Science Center are required to log all dives on the USC Scientific Diver Database. Please contact the USC DSO for Registration instructions. Registration is required prior to arrival and dive authorization.
- Complete a Dive Orientation Briefing on arrival (15 minutes)
Dive Planning and Equipment Policy
All divers must provide their own dive gear to conduct underwater research at the Wrigley Marine Science Center. 80 cf aluminum and steel cylinders with yoke-type and DIN valves are available. Due to the limited amount of DIN cylinders available for use, adapters are highly recommended. Please be sure your equipment is complete and functional prior to arrival. A limited selection of dive equipment is available locally (2 miles from the WMSC) at the Two Harbors Dive and Recreation Center.
The following equipment is required:
A mask, snorkel, fins, appropriate exposure protection (wet or dry), weight belt and weights, regulator with redundant second stage (also known as an 'octopus'), buoyancy compensator, pressure gauge, depth gauge, timing device, compass, an audible signaling device, a safety sausage and a cutting tool.
All divers will be issued a dive data recorder (Blue Buddy). Divers are required to carry this data recorder during all dive operations.
The following equipment is recommended:
A dive computer, save-a-dive kit, calculator, extra pencils, dive light, marker lights for night dives, DIN to yoke adaptor (if you use DIN valves) and a slate capable of holding an 8.5' x 11' data sheet.

USC Dive Training Progression Flowchart
What dive certifications may a diver achieve as they progress through their AAUS Scientific Diver training at the USC Wrigley Institute? This flowchart (PDF) is designed to give a visual reference for those milestones. Additional lecture and/or dives (confined or open water) may be added at the discretion of the Instructor.

Facilities
The USC Wrigley Marine Science Center on Catalina Island is the heart of the USC Scientific Diving Program. Please click here for information on our research and teaching facilities.
Small boats: A fleet of small boats is available to students and researchers for access to study sites in the Big Fisherman's Cove marine reserve. Please see the boating program section of our website or contact Trevor Oudin (toudin@usc.edu) for further information.
Hyperbaric Chamber: The USC Catalina Hyperbaric Chamber is an emergency medical facility on Catalina Island for the treatment of scuba diving accidents. The chamber facilities are on the waterfront of the Wrigley Marine Science Center and adjacent to a helipad that is licensed for day or night helicopter landings. The chamber itself is large enough to treat several patients at once and provides enough room for staff and volunteers to perform cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) and advanced life support for patients who arrive in cardiac arrest.
Rates and Fees
Rates and Fees: All information on charges for diving and related costs (housing, meals, transportation to the island) at the Wrigley Marine Science Center are available here. Please contact Karen Erickson for questions regards rates, fees and availability.
