When you sign up you are asked to sign up for the beach or Casino Point. You must crawl over the wall for the dive and it is limited to 50' for the clean up. The beach you just walk in which is a little easier. I have only been at Casino Point and really don't mind crawling over the wall. Just watch your equipment on the rocks. I like diving from the Point because you can get a dive or two in before or after the clean up without having to set up two different spots. the money for the Clean up goes to a good cause and you pick up the junk from the bottom of the ocean. the stuff that is brought up from the bottom is cool to look at after everyone is done.

JMdiver and I are planning to go. Out and back the same day. Missed it last year, but had a good time the year before. Great crowd too...divers from all over SoCal. This year we will be diving 130s (and no "leaking" third diver LOL!) so we plan on a looooong dive!
I think many of you will be surprised the next time you come out to Casino Point and dive...

I think he's referring to the invasive macro algae. I was there on Dec 22 and it looked like a totally different place... There is an article on it on his website:

No, I'm not going to say Boo and it isn't the Sargassum filicinum. Hint... I think you'll find entries and exits to be easier at low tide. Just to clarify... I had nothing to do with the changes you'll find (I rarely dive the park any more).

Even better than that!
Bill, I'll be at the park tomorrow. I hope I'll be surprised!
