Semi-rare trip at a great price! Limited Load!

Experienced divers only. Read that again. Solid experience at deep depths required for this trip. CURRENTS POSSIBLE. You should have the ability and skill to deploy a safety sausage at depth.

This
will be a two-tank local trip aboard a well-appointed charter boat. You'll have all your own gear for this one. Both sites are deep-ish, so you'll want to bring your own steel tanks filled with nitrox (or doubles/rebreather). (29% would be a good mix for the first dive.) The boat DOES NOT provide nitrox refill.

Boat provides food and drinks between dives.


COST:
$115.99 (Paypable via Paypal after you RSVP on the right.) I dropped a few spots off the boat loadout to give us a bit more elbow room. Limited load!

CERT:
You MUST have Advanced certification or greater... and the skills and ability that go with it. (Be prepared to show your card to the boat captain.)


CHECK-IN: 7:00 am. Go to the office first to fill out paperwork, then load your gear onto the boat directly behind the office building. The boat leaves the dock at 7:45 am sharp. Don't arrive at 7:45 and expect to go.




DIVE SITES



Wreck of the Hogan:
Wickes-class destroyer laying on a mostly sandy bottom in 130' of depth. Direction orientation is roughly North-East/South-West. Close to the US/Mexico border. Wreck is mostly collapsed, though bow and stern have some structure to them. Very easy to follow the ships centerline and lots of things to explore. Wolf eels seen here in the past months. CURRENTS POSSIBLE.

Train Wheels:
In a section of the Ancient Sea Cliffs off Point Loma. ACTUAL train wheels, on axles, inside the mouth of a cavern. Swim-through chimney at back of cavern. Cavern mouth starts at 95'. Beautiful kelp plateau at 55-75'.

The boat also provides good food and drinks between dives. Hot soup! And, oh yes, they have a hot, fresh-water shower on-board too.
