Diving in Rocky Point?

[Dive-aholic]

Sounds good. If this pans out, we'll definitely look for you. I've heard there's camping on the beach in Rocky Point. Any validity to this?

Can you still camp at Sandy Beach? Haven't been there in a decade.

It's a divesite. Easy entry out to about 40'.

Seems like I've heard you can camp there, but can't say for sure, never done it. I'll do some research tommorrow.

Any idea of the water temperature in Rocky Point in Feb/March? Would it be simiar to San Carlos?

Giving it some thought..as it is a shorter drive than San Carlos.

Thanks.

Based on online resources, the same as San Carlos, probably Mid 60's right now.

Yes, same as San Carlos. San Carlos is usually in the low to mid 60s in March.

Maybe we'll head down the 2nd weekend of March then, the 10th/11th? Anyone else interested?

Just heard from some young guys that work for me that this is the Spring Break weekend for all Arizona and New Mexico schools. Rp typically sees an influx of 8 to 10 thousand students that weekend.

I certainly don't mind the festivities but it may make finding lodging problematic, camping a hassle, and traffic horrendous.

Thanks for the cool water temperature link!

Thanks for the info. I didn't realize they did Spring Break that early. I guess we'll hold off until April then. I've been through Havasu during Spring Break. I don't even want to see what RP is like at that time!
