SoCal Divers,
I've posted recently to OC Diving News about a couple of outings on the Giant Stride dive boat operated by Capt. Jim Simmerman, and berthed at Ports of Call, San Pedro. LA Scuba Diving Charter Boat - 6-Pack Dive Charter | The Giant Stride
Jim operates this vessel as a "six pack", which means he is limited to six clients. The boat easily has space for twice that many divers so when your seated at your BC the next diver is like a full arms length away. Jim specializes in custom trips arranged by private charter, so unless your part of a group arranging a charter there are few opportunities to dive off his boat as an individual diver.
On Friday May 27th, Captain Jim is running the boat as an open boat, meaning single divers can rsvp a spot. His plan is for a two tank morning outing, with an optional third dive if the group so decides. Cost is $100 for two and $125 for three. This is a full service trip, dive master onboard, food included, etc. Plan on bringing two tanks, if we do a third dive Jim will fill you empty tank while we are on the second dive. The proposed dive destinations are not for brand new divers; you should be comfortable in some current, have good buoyancy control and know how to stick with your buddy.
This past Saturday we did two PV reef dives, met at the boat at 6:30AM and were back to the dock at Noon, a third dive would bring us back around 2:00PM.
Presently there are three spots available, if you would like to join us please rsvp with me so we know to look for you.
For further information or questions please contact me via e-mail (ocshuck@gmail.com) or text to my cell 818-635-4408.
