Best Dive Boat now

[seansrs36]

With the Magician no longer a dive boat in southern California, what dive boat would be considered the best now? Sucks that the Magician is no longer. I really loved that boat and have some fond memories diving from it.

My favorite warm water dive boats are the Newtons.

It has contact numbers but hey I’m old and it’s been a while since I’ve used any SoCal boats, pacific star was one of the good ones in the LA area, Specter in Ventura but I don’t know if either is still operating.

Yes PacStar is still operating. The amount of dive boats here in so Cal has dwindled over the years.

Yea it’s hard for them to make enough to bother anymore.

The Magician was my favorite and it recently got sold. It is now operating in Mexico I heard as a fishing boat. The Horizon went bye bye awhile ago. That was after the Mexicans closed down Guadalupe Island
for shark diving.
