My wife and I will be in San Diego at the beginning of August. We are looking to dive the Coronados so I'm trying to find a dive boat that will take us out there on Monday August 4th (I believe). The only operator that appears to offer regular trips out there is Dive Bliss. I've sent them an email requesting info but they haven't gotten back to me. Are they defunct? Their reservation link doesn't work so I suspect they are. Does anybody know of another operator that would possibly take us out there on that day?

Thanks
 
Lois Ann is a good operation. Change your schedule and go with them.:wink:
 
The Humboldt also goes there. Or you could do a surface swim! It's only about 20 something miles, so if you started kicking out on Sunday night and you catch a current, you'd probably get there by noon the next day! :) okay, just kidding...

Heads up, usually the boat trip to Coronados makes for a long day. Lois Ann schedule is usually a 6:30am departure returning at 5pm. 3 dives and food included and don't forget the water's chilly, in August it might be high 50's to low 60's at best. I'm kind of guessing optimistically, as its in the low 50's right now (52dF last weekend), but be prepared to wear a 7mm and hood at least.

Humboldt's phone number is 619-224-6195 and here's their web site:

You can also check these web sites for lists of Dive Boats in the area to call:

Oh, and I don't know much about Dive Bliss, but here's their phone number if it helps: 619-200-5852
 
Here is a link to the dive boat schedules for SoCal. San Diego boats are at the bottom. California Dive Boats : The Official Page

The Lois Ann is scheduled for the Coronados August 1st & 8th. They are doing the Yukon / Wreck Alley on the 4th. Visibility is usually OK in August and the Yukon is a great dive.
