KD8NPB, EAN 32 is exactly what I use on both EB Allen and Grecian. Both are buoyed at the surface, EB Allen from the bow and Grecian both bow and stern. Depending on how much swimming you want to do, the stern buoy on Grecian has more to see. My understanding on Monrovia is she's 130ft to the bottom of the lake 100ft to the superstructure. But there's no surface buoy so if your running your own boat a decent gps and fish finder are a must. She's also 26 miles out from Thunder Bay in the shippng lanes. Or contact Joe at ThunderBay Scuba. joe@tbscuba.com to arrange a charter.

We usually run our own boats. Chances are, it'll be my Zodiac FC470 and the other local guy's Zodiac Pro 550. But, if we don't have two boats or one boat with twins, we usually don't go more than a few miles out.

You're more than welcome to join us!

Not sure how many I'll do locally, but for my winter/spring dive travel, I'm looking at the Red Sea, South Africa, Madagascar, the Galapagos, Brazil and Chile. I've never dived the African or South American continents so that is my focus.

-Catalina in May and October
-Key Largo in August
-Drive to California as much as possible in the summer and boat dive!

Everyone have a safe and happy 2014!
