Hi everyone, I'm back!!!
After a somewhat long recovery from a minor medical issue I'm back better than ever!!
I am planning the 6th annual north coast dive party again at ocean cove campground up on the beautiful sonoma county coast.
For those of you that have attended in the past you know what great times we have.
This year it will be August 3rd thru 6th (2006). That's thusday - sunday. I get there thursday and set up the camp and kitchen and most people get in friday night and dive their brains out sat and sunday. the big party is always saturday night which last year went till 3 am!
Of course if anyone can get there on thursday it's a bonus for me 'cause then we can grab more campsites together. Remeber you must have a car to be able to pat for a site. You can't pre reserve sites but there is no limit to the amount of cars you can stuff into a site as long as each person pays their $16.00 per night per vehic. they're cool. They also don't seem to care how late you stay up as long as there's no complaints. But from what I saw everyone in the campground was doing the same thing so it didn't matter.
The diving around there is great, I have a boat and if anybody else has a boat they can bring it would be a bonus. Kayaks are alway good too. If you have a kayak bring it. I try to at least get everyone out for one good boat dive, but there are a lot of people that come to this, so I like to encourage other options for people so they can maximize their diving adventures. Other options are shore diving, which I know of some great spots to go, and the other is kayak diving which opens up a whole new world as far as access.
Air fills can become a challenge at ocean cove since Capt. Bob stopped doing fills. Now we have to go to Bodega Bay or up to Gualala. My suggestion is to bring as many tanks as you have and if you don't have that many then split up your dives with some freediving.
I am thinking of reserving groupsite #2 or #3.
The cost for this is $160.00 night., If I can get 9 other people to commit I'll reserve it but it's a little much for me to pay all at once out of my pocket. So let me know.
Unless you think that the spot we were at last year was good, we'll just keep that.
And this year I WON"T forget my sign! I promise.
