25 years of diving at BBP I've never used the dock anyways I always walk out from the beach to avoid getting a fish hook in the head. I guess over all this is nothing more than crowd control.![]()
That is pretty much what it boils down to. I mean most shops who use the area tend not to use the dock from what i have seen in the 15+ years of using that dock. I have used the dock maybe twice and both times i found it much easier to use the beach, first you tend to hit the ground if your not inflated enough which many are not the first time going in, and two those ladders can be tough when your tired and climbing out.
Ultimately it comes down to the parking issue.. the last 5+ years it has gotten worse and this issue has come up every summer.. I am at the dock just about every weekend and there bright and early to ensure i snag a good parking spot to get my morning dive in and we will come out and find cars parked everywhere.. In spots where its clearly marked no parking, we have seen cars parked on the DOCK, on the beach and physically blocking the laneways of homes in the area.
