I'm thinking about using the summer interns as my dive sherpas.

Just stumbled across this thread. I am very intrigued about ditching work for diving. Have only been local shore dives and have been dying to go Catalina and Casino Point. Sorta sounds like you guys are already friends and have diving together before. How bout a newbie tagging along? Have at least 10 dives since cert.

What time is everyone meeting, where is everyone meeting, and how would we buddy up? Also, do you take weights and tanks or rent them there? Never done dive trip yet Catalina but would love to go, if I can get official okay from wife.

Everyone is welcome. Many of us will be on the 6:15 Express to Avalon, but anytime is a good time. Most are returning on the 3:45. Yes this is how many of us have met in the past couple of years, so join the group and meet more dive buddies. We'll be at Casino Point...look for the big group of merriment and mayhem (the Dr. Bill Mobile will probably point the way too). There is a dive shop at the Casino that rents whatever you need and fills tanks (if you bring one of your own). For those details see www.catalinadiverssupply.com. Each person is responsible for planning their dive and diving their plan. Folks (buddy pairs and small groups) will enter and exit the water at random. There will be plenty of folks willing to buddy up. And the dives will be followed by dining at one of the local eateries on the walk back to the ferry.

See you there!

Feel free to join us, freewillie....there will be plenty of those willing to dive with you.
And as already stated, rent waht you wish right there at the "point"... give them a call if you need more than tank and weights so they can have it ready for you. Check our "sticky" for more insight on diving from the "shore" @ Avalon here: http://www.scubaboard.com/forums/socal/231885-updated-great-catalina-island-info-sticky-thread.html
As I stated on your introduction post, "hope to see you in the water soon"

Ticket has been purchased, day off is set.
Now hoping for good weather and good VIS.
My regular buddies can not make this trip, so hoping to find someone to join up with.
Never been to the park before.
Leejnd, even though you have a "pack mule", I'm still willing to help out with your gearing up in the water. :goingdown:
HT wish you could make it down for the DWADD or even the scuba show.

Hope springs eternal, but doesn't look good.
