Anyone else?
We will be there from around 8am til maybe 2pm, getting in 2-3 dives before heading home. Weather looks like it will be mostly sunny and 40s-50s.
Maybe. I planned on diving last weekend in Catalina but the Sun Diver has engine problems and we turned around halfway across the channel :-(
Did you plan Sat or Sun?
doug - we are just diving on Saturday. Our daughter is moving into her new apt on Sunday (yeah) so she is packing all day Sat while we are gone and taking care of our dog. We plan to only do 2, maybe 3 dives before heading back home around 2pm.
spicy - No, you can dive wetsuit (I do) as long as it is 7mm, and you have hood and gloves. The big thing is to get out of wetsuit between dives, dry off, and get out of any wind. They now have a dry room with heat open to divers for between dives, too.
well, we went yesterday.......... along with about 100 other divers! Holy cow, I have never seen so many divers there in January!! (and I have been going to BH for 11 years). Most of the divers were from Texas and Colorado, large groups with students. There were some groups of divers (non-students) from those states also.
It was windy and chilly but we still got to dive. Luckily the bldg was open and warm. The bathrooms are large, clean, with flushing toilets and have a changing area benches for changing into and out of wetsuits and showers. VERY nice!!! The bad thing about having so many people there is that everyone was running into the bldg to get out of wind between dives so the floors got wet and muddy by the end of the day. Not unexpected, but something to consider this summer when it really gets busy. The large classroom-front room area have several picnic type tables in it and those were full of divers all day long. Some divers were sitting on the floor in the room as there was no table space left. We even saw one instructor sitting in the hallway to bathrooms to do his dive briefings.
I have a few photos to share. i will add them on shortly.

Reason: adding photos
I just finished two dives. Robint beat me to posting pictures. Most everyone was finishing up when I dove. Got a chance to talk to Stella. It was good to see her. I met Stacy from New Mexico Scuba and cheered their students on as they did their graduation jump. The water was more cloudy then I remember for Sunday after all the students. It sure was good to be back in the water again.
