Hey,

Has anybody been camping at two harbors campground as well as diving while there. Is it possible to get gear there without loss of a limb or worse. We will be there mid July. Is Avalon a very good option (a lot of people though). Thx

I used the cabins once. It's a bit of a walk to the water, then a good surface swim to get around the point, but it was a relaxing weekend. I heard a noise outside the window in the morning. I looked out to see a buffalo looking in.

Camping and diving at Catalina Two Harbors Camp Grounds is awesome. But you will be schleping gear. You can dive the east reef , or surface swim to Big Fishermans Cove (marine sanctuary for 30+ years). You can rent gear right at the Two Harbors pier but the air fills suck....
I read your other thread and I would also recommend the Avalon Dive park for a beginner....So why not get some dives in before July....then he wont be a beginner...

He would love to but he is a college baseball player and our location here in Iowa is not very conducive to diving, with the exception of gravel pits, know dive trips there. Thank you for the info, Avalon is probably better for beginners, he has to start somewhere.
