Hi all -
I'm doing a 3 day trip with Truth Aquatics next week and had some changes recently that may impact the overall trip plan.
The original plan - Wifebuddy and I were going to dive together on this trip. We board on Wednesday night and back on Saturday afternoon-ish. Since I figured we would be both exhausted after 3 days of diving, I had a hotel booked in Goleta for that night and then drive back home to the bay area on Sunday morning. Since we've off gassed enough by then, don't really care what route we drive back on - go where Google Maps tells us to go.
Due to some family obligations my wife is not able to make the trip any more. She will be dropping me off at the boat on Wednesday and picking me up on Saturday. This opens up the option of driving back home on Saturday evening itself with her able to drive the entire trip back. In this case, the route we choose becomes a little more important to avoid reaching any elevation that's inadvisable after 3 days of diving for me.
Bay area people who have done this before - how do you normally get back home after the multi-day trips?
I still have the option to keep the hotel booking and spend the night in Santa Barbara but if the same day drive can be safely done, I would prefer to do that. I will be diving EAN32 for the entire trip and have no issues limiting my diving on the last day to 1 dive in the morning.
Thanks in advance,
