I'm in. I gotta get some diving in before summer is over. I'm getting very close to dive 100 and would like to get it done before the end of summer. Maybe it's possible.

I have a meeting that evening or else I'd be in...

I tried to dive there before and they were working on the stairway and had it all closed off.
It might be worth it to drive by and make sure it's back up and running?

Thanks for the warning. I'll have to drive by early Monday and check out the stairs.

The stairways for Camino Majorica & Camino Pescadero are open. There is more kelp visible at Camino Pescadero but parking stinks. I would suggest we meet at the intersection of Camino Majorca and Del Playa and figure it out from there.
