Location, location, destination. While we do indulge what you mentioned.... we do alot in the 100fsw or less that is spectacular, that others do not do.
Just a short list:
Barrel wreck
steel sailing ship
saitiae
parking lot barges
navy barges
Palmer
washintonian
fenwick shoals
winter quarter shoals
All of the destinations out of O.C. are tide,wind, and weather dependant. Just because the schedule said inshore reef, if the weather has been up you need to be flexible and go farther, but not deeper. Ted does alot of stuff that is less than 100fsw, and we all do these dives to keep our skills sharp for the stuff you mentioned.
