Diver Dan's Boat Dive?

Hey,

Anyone planning on going on the boat dive in Monterey this Weekend, Sunday the 9th? I have never been on a boat dive and don't know what to expect.... Should be a lot easier than Monastary's entry

thanks

On Diver Dan's website there's some info on Boat Diving. The website says it's the Escapade... You might want to confirm that... There's nothing worse than showing up for the wrong boat.

Diver Dan's: Come dive with with us on a Monterey Dive Boat charter today!

Some things to consider is that you'll have to get there early. The boats are prompt about leaving so do not be late.

Also expect to be ready to board the boat with your gear fully assembled and you suited up (or at least partially) well before the board time. If it's your first time boat diving in Monterey you'll probably be nervous and want the extra time to make sure you're in the right place anyway. Don't forget your c-card and some cash for tips (parking machines take cards), a warm hat, a towel and some warm clothes to change into after the dive.

The Escapade

K Dock

I will be there doing my AOW, think its the same boat.

escapade leaving from k dock at 830?

Check with the dive shop or organizer. They'll have the final word. I would hate for you to get the wrong time and show up late

Do you get sea sick? If so, then take the medications early. The seas outside the bay can get a bit rough. Also, I hope you are going with an experienced buddy. There are no dive guides on these boats and you need to do you own navigation. It is easy to get disoriented in kelp.

But it is also a lot easier than shore diving (and a lot more fun).
Have a great time.
