dive boat to Santa Barbara Island?

[badmrchris]

...anyone know of any boats headed out there anytime soon?

from what i can tell on the dive boat directory, the next trip is not until august 15th...

Were you looking at the boat directory on the California Diving News website?

Maybe the boats aren't going out there because of the very recent warning about great white shark 'attacks' on California sea lions at the island. Of course I refer to such 'attacks' as feeding behavior... I don't 'attack' my Big Mac (and certainly not anything I cook for myself).

Great white sharks have been observed around Santa Barbara Island attacking California sea lions. There have been no shark attacks on humans.

There have been three attacks on California sea lions by great white sharks in the past few months including one at the Santa Barbara Island Landing Cove and two offshore of Cat Canyon on the southeast side of the island.

The public is duly warned to enter the water at their own risk at Santa Barbara Island due to a potential safety hazard effective June 30, 2010 and until further notice.


I agree with Dr. Bill. Most of us don't "attack" Big Macs. Attack implies that the hamburger stands a chance of survival.

Also check with the various LDS too.

Ocean Adventures, Aqua Adventures, Ocean Safari Scuba, Ecco Dive Center, Sport Chalet, etc.
