Hi Everyone
I'll be in LA [Pasadena] for five days mid Aug and would like to do some diving
Can you please give me a pointer or two of what I could do?
1) kelp forests out of Catalina Island
I found this on the web by googleing around and it costs 280$ for a day [150$ for the diving and guide + 130$ for the boat]
This seems really costly, is this the going rate
2) Seals out of Santa Barbara
I'd really like to do this, do I need to go up to Santa Barbara or is there anywhere nearer LA
3) La Jolla/ San Deigo
also found an organisation in SD who offers diving/ swimming with Mako, gray whale migration, leopard sharks
do you know if I would see any of these mid August or am I going off season [my dates are fixed 2nd/ 3rd week of Aug]
... and other direction would be great, I'm open to suggestions
Thanks
Venus
