Current Catalina dive conditions?

[jasong714]

I am thinking about taking the express over to the island early Saturday morning to do some diving with my brother. We have been to the dive park once before. What are conditions currently?

Also does anyone know of any good maps of the dive park?

we were just there on Sunday, diving from the Great Escape... Catalina was wonderful as usual, water temp in high 60s, water was clear, vis was 40-60', and the kelp was very dense. We saw batrays and a leopard shark.

We were there on Saturday (on the Sundiver) and the conditions were good. Visibility was good, temperatures were nice, surface interval temperatures were nice too! Definitely worth the dive....haven't made it to the dive park yet, but will one day.

I was on that boat too! It was a very nice day and happy to see the water temps up a bit. I'm not sure how conditions in the dive park mimic the rest of the island. I'm sure Dr. Bill will chime in here shortly. He dives there on occassion..........rofl3:

Get Franko's map of the Dive Park.

With it, I was able to compass my way to whatever I wanted.

Conditions yesterday at the dive park were 50-60 ft visibility. Wish I had brought my gear down! If there are many classes Sat, that will certainly drop... but the right side of the park (as viewed from land) generally has good visibility.
