Do it you'll love it! I went off casino point last week. It was a wonderful dive. The folks in town are friendly and willing to help you.
I had started a thread out of concern about the physical nature of the dive. There have been a couple of serious incidents at Casino Point to include 2 fatalities. I was wondering if I might be biting off too much by attempting to dive there. I was advised by folks here that it is an easily doable dive. They were right. I have discovered that I need to plan MY dive. I read the accidents and incidents section a bit too much. I need to be a safe diver, but if I follow my plan and practice my skills, I need not let fear override the fun.
Go and enjoy!

The two recent deaths in the dive park appear to be health related, although I have not heard the definitive answers from the coroner's report.
The Casino Point dive park is a heck of a lot "safer" than some of the mainland shore dives, at least for a fairly new diver. It is approved for preliminary water work by some certification agencies. Heck, even I can dive there!
