Hit Catalina last 2 weekends with an OW class.
Dived off the Steps at the Casino. Both days the vis was pretty good. 50-60. Temps the first weekend were 72ish at the top and 68 at about 35. This weekend they where 75 or so at the top, and about the same at 60. No thermocline to speak of.
8/2 the wall around the parking area was packed. Not sure how many divers but a lot of the wall was shoulder to shoulder. 8/9 pretty relaxed. No where near as many divers.
All in all, great weekends for an open water class.
