Can anyone tell me about the Sunfish?

Well, we're booked on the Spectre instead. (That IS a big drop! Fortunately, I'll have a camera with me so I won't feel bad about taking the ladder to an easy entry.) Now to find something for the 27th! Might do Mot2vation's. Thanks for all your help!

I had booked a trip this weekend sat oct 20th with the sunfish. she took my reservation and said she had all intentions on going out. needless to say she canceled my reservation. I am to dive the peace boat this sun and mon. and was looking for a one day trip to make 3 days out of it. I am disappointed in the way there running there charters at the sunfish. and it does look like the other boats are better set up for diving.

I have never dove the specter. I have looked the boat over and meet a deck hand one morning having breakfast at the harbor. seemed like a nice chap. the deck of the boat looked well designed. to keep your gear in place and such. I don't know how true this is but have herd the captain doesn't like hunting much. ie spearfishing.. but puts up with it during bug season. looks like a fine boat.

If you make another trip you should check out the Explorer and or the Peace. both fine boats. really good crew!!!! they both went out of there way to accommodated my needs.. big time!!! Candy and Tony ROCK!!!! no pun intended.. on the explorer ..and captain Kevin runs a awesome boat with the best crew!!! on the Peace.

I dove the Sunfish once and I thought it was a pretty good platform, for a day trip. An overnighter would be quite wet and uncomfortable!

As for the reservations...after I dove off the Sunfist that one time I scheduled three trips...all of which were cancelled. It was always "Oh yeah the boat is going out! No problem! See you Sunday!" Then late Saturday afternoon, CANCELLED! I didn't very much like that.

Just my half bubble's worth...

I posted this on another dive forum. I'm sure its a nice boat to dive from. just didn't care for the way things went down. seemed to me that they were looking out for them selves. hay, money talks.. I just didn't know that this was a charter boat for other interests other than diving. to each is own I guess. But I hear you. I'm sure when all goes good its a fine boat. at the last minute they pulled the rug out and didn't do what they said they would do... hum!! lost my interest!!




I had an interesting encounter last week with dive boat reservations. I was booked on a 2 day trip on a boat. and thought I would find a day charter and make 3 days out of it. so I called @ and looked up the dive boat web page and found only a few boat going out for day trips. I booked with a boat out of Oxnard. and they took my reservation. 2 days later I get a call from the boat. confirming my reservation. I thought it was unusual. I never have gotten a call like that. so I pushed for more info. well they were thinking of scratching the trip. needless to say it took some persuasion to get this info.. I was told I would be notified in 24 hrs if this was the case. 48 hrs later I called the boat.. and they booked a charter for a party instead.. humm...think Ill stay with the real dive boats for now on. especially because I drive 7-9 hrs to get there. sure I have been turned away because of conditions before... I just kind of felt misled.
