I'm visiting a friend in Pacific Grove next week. We regularly dive together in the Caribbean, but haven't done cold water in years and he hasn't been diving there since he moved to PC a few years ago. I could bring my regulator, lights, mask, and Perdix easily, but don't own a wetsuit that's thick enough. Also, it's a quick trip and I was hoping to not pack my backplate/wing and fins just for 1 or 2 dives.
From what I understand, the water is ca. 57 F (14 C) this week, a tad cooler than we dove in Grand Cayman last month (87 F)!
IF we decide to give it shot, are there any recommendations for (1) shops to rent gear from and (2) good places to shore dive for those new to the Bay?
Thanks in advance.
