I found a place in town that will rent kayaks to divers for $30 a day. About Us - Contact Info and Locations I am up for learning kayak diving if anyone is interested.

Me probably if you want to shore dive. I was an hour late from picking my son up at hockey practice yesterday due to a really bad accident on 156, so I need to make sure I am out of Monterey no later than noon on both days (saturday I could probably stay later than sunday)
My information is a little dated, but we checked a few places on kayak rentals before, and most of the places we found weren't great solutions (you couldn't pay for the rental and take the kayak with you, you had to launch on site, and some didn't allow dive gear). Aquarius Del Monte does have a couple of dive kayaks available for rent. We did that once and had a great time, launching from BW and paddling out to the Hopkins marine preserve in front of the Aquarium for a nice dive. Yak diving out in Monterey is a lot of fun
Nice to know ABTS is another option!
I usually leave my house at 9 AM and arrive in Monterey noon-ish. Do you want to try Monastery on Sunday morning with perhaps Lover's as a backup?

I am sure I have read your posts on this. This shop did not advocate diving from their kayaks but did not prohibit it either. I suppose we have to take what we can get.
BYO anchors, ropes and dive flags.

If you're arriving at noon and I have to leave by noon it probably won't work, lol.
Sorry. I generally leave my house at 5:30 am and am home by noon or 1:00.

Sorry, I wasn't specific. I will arrive in Monterey at noon on Saturday and spend the night. I can dive anytime on Sunday.
FishDiver: you again! I was planning on trying Lobos on Friday, maybe staying overnight and doing a shore dive Saturday. But it looks like conditions will start deteriorating on Friday so I plan to keep checking the forecasts.
