Catalina Is. Ship Rock 9/26 Great Escape

[GreatEscape]

A shop had to cancel an upcoming charter so we’ll be running instead an Open Boat on the “Great Escape” on Saturday 9/26. This will be a great trip of some of our favorite Catalina Island spectacular dives. We call this trip the “Blue Triangle special” where we’ll try to dive the following three dive sites:

Ship Rock: A spectacular dive site featuring the docile Angle Sharks. From shallow to deep, you pick the depth.

Bird Rock: Another beautiful dive in the lush kelp beds with a great reef structure and gorgonian covered walls.

Eagle Reef: Another great reef dive, packed full of critters to see.

The Great Escape is berthed in Long Beach, CA, is a stable 80 foot length, and features bunks, a large galley, staterooms, dedicated camera assembly station, 2 heads, hot water showers, 3000 psi fills.

Price is only $113

The price of your trip includes: free parking, 3000 psi air fills, 3 dives, full buffet breakfast, snacks, buffet lunch, non alcoholic drinks, and too much fun! Feel free to bunk the night prior on the boat if that is a convenience. Boat departs 7AM on 9/26

Give Capt. Tim a call at 866-348-3262 or visit our website for more info.

Dammit, I would love to dive Ship Rock & Bird Rock again, but I gotta work on the next several Saturdays. HOWEVER, I'm on your boat for the Sunday run to San Clemente!!!

Ship Rock is my #2 favorite dive site here on the island (Farnsworth is #1). When you go to nearby Bird Rock, make sure you hold your nose as you do your giant stride depending on which way the wind is blowing (tee hee). They don't call it Bird Rock for nothing.

Did Ship Rock last week and had a great time

Another good reason to that mask on your face!

Hold your nose.. lol. thats good. We were there last weekend, and we were up wind. Saw LOTS of bugs in the 70' range. Of course they will be gone opening night.

That was a fun trip, and a good group of people too. Cant wait to get back next month when I'm in the area again.

I had to land on Bird Rock several times when I was V.P. of the Catalina Conservancy to look at some of the rare plants there (isolated from the goats we used to have on the main island). It was all I could do to hold down my lunch. t least when we dive it, we're sucking cleaner air from the fill station or filtered air from the boat.
