Overview
SCHEDULE:
*All activities are optional and at your own discretion - come if you can/want! This just gives everyone who wants to stick with the group an idea of where we will be and when.
There are NO cars on Catalina Island. We will be walking to each activity. For reference it is a 20 minute walk from the ferry pier to Casino Point. You will most likely have gear + bags with you. Please keep this in mind when planning. If you want, golf cart rentals are available.
I estimate most of the dives will range from 45-60 minutes.
The temperatures at the surface are forecasted to between 53-69.
Water temp should be low 60s.
Inclusions
Divers will have the opportunity to join a buddy team, be guided by an experienced diver, or to have an orientation given to let you go explore as a team!
Exclusions
Additional Info
This site is very helpful and informative for those who have never visited this island and dive site before: Diving Catalina Island Overview
Gear Rental and Boat Dive
ALL DIVERS need to complete a waiver for The Scuba Dive before any diving takes place.
Make sure you have completed all necessary paperwork with the Catalina dive shops as well.
Feel free to call or message me during the trip - I will do my best to respond anytime I am not in the water.
