A local summer camp is teaching kids to scuba dive and earn PADI certification at the Ventura Dive & Sport pool near the Harbor while campers made open water dives off the back of Anacapa Island (two days in a row).

Owner Zach Cantrell said the camp (PADI certification is for life) will add another session this summer if enough kids sign up.

A Simi Valley resident was stabbed to death on the 2900 block of Crescent Way in Thousand Oaks after Ventura County Sheriff's Office officers arrived at 8:23 p.m.—authorities say a 41-year-old suspect, Miguel Angel Reyes Cano, fled in a blue 2002 Dodge truck with plate 7K43579.

Ventura’s Main Street Moves, a downtown street closure begun during COVID, will reopen in November after property owners voted down the Pedestrian Mall Act on July 8—blaming financial losses.

Mayor Pro Tem Doug Halter said a proclamation will be considered on September 16 to reopen Main Street on November 2—he noted the closure cannot be reconsidered for a year.
