The Vision: Premier-Expedition Class 90ft Boat


You are invited to the inaugural voyages of the newly renovated The Vision. We dived the Vision, in its former glory, out of Santa Barbara; now, with new owners, a new legacy begins. Dive San Clemente Island on the Premier-Expedition Class 90ft Vision. Gourmet food, impeccable service that you would expect in an international live-aboard dive vessel. The boat takes 32; we are only taking 28. You may bring your large equipment bags on the boat and take lobster during this adventure. Season passes are not accepted for Vision expeditions. Scuba Schools of America & SXT Adventures are the first dive store to take you aboard this amazing expeditionary vessel. CLICK THE PICTURES ABOVE TO SIGN UP.

BOAT FULL...DON'T EVEN ASK! Join us on October 24th-25th for a dive trip to San Clemente for a Manta Ray Safari. With El Niño and extremely warm waters, we are seeing creatures we wouldn't normally see at normal water temperatures. There have been whale shark, spotted eagle ray, and mobula ray sightings off of the California Coast! Click on the picture above to secure your spot for this rare experience!



Dive Cortez Banks on Jan 16th-17th and dive back in time. Cortez is much closer to San Diego than to San Pedro. If you want untouched SoCal Diving and the possibility of manta rays and turtles... join us Jan 16th to Cortez Banks. Call the store at 909-621-4171 to secure your spot on this amazing adventure!

SXT Adventures International Excursions 2026-2027

Here's a new format for you with our international

adventures at the forefront of everything!

What the easiest way to a flat stomach?

1. Diet and Nutrition (Where Most Fat Loss Happens)

  • Create a Calorie Deficit: Consume slightly fewer calories than your body burns so it uses stored fat for energy.
  • Cut Added Sugars and Refined Carbs: Limit items like sodas, pastries, and white bread, which spike insulin and make fat loss harder.
  • Increase Protein and Fiber: Eat more eggs, lean meats, fish, vegetables, beans, and whole grains to stay full and support digestion.
  • Stay Hydrated: Drink plenty of water and avoid carbonated or alcoholic drinks that cause temporary gas and bloating.


2. Core Strengthening (Fixing Posture and Distension)

  • Train the Transverse Abdominis: Instead of standard sit-ups (which only work the outer "six-pack" muscles), train your deep core muscle that pulls the waistline inward.
  • Try the Vacuum Exercise:
  1. Expel all air from your lungs.
  2. Pull your belly button in tightly toward your spine.
  3. Hold the contraction for a few seconds and repeat daily.
  • Improve Your Posture: Simply standing and sitting up straight pulls your tummy in immediately without extra exercise.


3. Movement and Lifestyle

  • Walk Daily: Low-impact cardio like brisk walking (30 to 60 minutes a day) helps burn visceral fat and lower stress hormones.
  • Get Enough Sleep: Aim for 7 or more hours of sleep nightly to regulate appetite hormones (ghrelin and leptin) that drive cravings.
  • Manage Stress: High stress raises cortisol, which is linked to extra fat storage around the abdomen.
