We've been teaching at the Monterey Breakwater, San Carlos Beach for years and years. Setting up camp on the grass, or diving off the rock wall with your class are great. Both have their advantages and disadvantages. When classes set up on the grass, the use of the large block stairs as a staging area is excellent. Students can finish their buddy checks, and then congregate on the stairs, waiting for the rest of their class to join them as they make their way to the open water.
Recently, over the past month or so, certain schools have been setting up camp on those stairs. They leave their bags, cylinders, etc.. there, and prevent any other school from using that area for staging. Further, it becomes a hazard, and gear is not kept tidy, and students climbing up, or going down the stairs have a high risk of tripping over some other schools gear that is just lying around.
The stairway has always been a staging area. It would be greatly appreciated if we can take this area back for all the schools to use as a staging area, instead of being monopolized by 1 school. Schools should continue to camp on the grass or on the rock wall on a 1st come, 1st serve basis.
