    Casino Point

    Winter is best time for everything. Less water movement, more clear water, thicker kelps acting like curtains as well. More fish, more animals that come out because there aren’t a hundred snorkelers and divers at the Park.

    Casino Point

    My favorite time to dive at Casino Point is around end of the year through February. It’s nice and quiet. Better chance of seeing the graceful Pacific torpedo ray during that time frame.

    Question Channel Island Liveaboards For January 2023

    I’ve never stayed overnight in Avalon so I don’t know how much it costs. However winter time is not tourist time so the hotel rate should be a lot cheaper.

    Question Channel Island Liveaboards For January 2023

    My suggestion is take the Catalina Express ferry to Avalon and dive at Casino Point. It’s a great and easy introduction to SoCal diving.

    Question Channel Island Liveaboards For January 2023

    December through January tend to be boat maintenance time for SoCal dive boats. As far as multi-days live aboard go, there weren’t that many boats which provide that particular service in the first place. And the selection is even slimmer nowadays. Especially after the Conception Boat tragedy.

    Thanksgiving 2022 weekend Casino Point

    I’m making a SoCal visit to hit Casino Point on Saturday. It’s to pay tribute to Doctor Bill, and to get my younger brother and his kids to do the discovery scuba with either CDS or Scubaluv. Can’t wait. It’s been too long since I dove at Casino Point. Gotta check out the new Jacques...

    Dive Dry With Dr. Bill #686: Night And Day... You Are The "one"

    I never paid enough attention to the female sheepheads while night diving. If I were to ever do SoCal dives again in the future, I'll make sure to do night dives and look for these camouflage discolorations on the female sheepheads.

    Sport Chalet To Cease Operations And Close All Locations

    I feel bad for the dive charters that work with Sport Chalet. Like it or not, Sport Chalet put a lot of students on those boats.
