California N&s Mag ~jade Cove????

JADE COVE NORTH AND SOUTH MAG?

<<< Also posted in SoCal section >>>

Jade cove is some what centrally located between northern and southern California between Gorda and Lucia in the Los Padres national forest on highway one. It would be an excellent location for a North-South meeting/camping/dive for the members of this board. Suggested time frame would be early fall after school reconvenes

The name Jade cove is derived from the jade that is found along the shore and underwater and indeed it can be found underwater with a certain amount of diving skill and a little luck.

Do to it's remoteness the only amenities available is camping. Plaskett Creek camp ground is located about a quarter mile north along Hw 1and can be reached by a short hike or drive. The campgrounds is a concession of the Parks Management Company and charge $16.00 per night per site or if the group campground is reserved it will accommodate 60 campers for $60.00 a night at last report.

The nearest dive shops are north in Monterey or south in San Luis Obispo.

Sooo how about it?
~~~Any one interested?
~~~~Any one want to organize the event? (not me I travel to Baja often)

Or should the idea of a California MAG be forgotten?

I would be interested in doing something like that, and might know some others that might be interested. There is 1 other person (rickster) on the SoCal side interested. Anyone up here?

i would go, but it looks like a gorilla dive to me... too much work

You might be right. I think a safe and less current-y place might be better.

Hello NorCal,

I am researching campsites, so, anyone with any suggestions and/or possiblilities, post here. Anyone in the north wanting to gather people, and anyone in the south wanting to do the same, PM me. We could make this a yearly event! Wouldn't that be cool?

I've always wanted to dive Jade Cove. but never wanted to put that much work into getting into and more importantly out of a dive site. How about a nice boat dive on one of the truth boats?

I'm sure we can get the whole boat.

I don't know if I would want to do the Jade Cove thing but I think a gathering of the Northern and Southern Cal SBers on a Truth boat sounds like a great idea!

A trip on one of the Truth boats is a great idea.
