Hi SoCal folks,

What's the deal with extremely expensive dive tours in Catalina? In checking prices for a 2-tank dive I see $200! That's crazy expensive, more that Hawaii prices.

Are there any meet ups for shore diving at Catalina?

Yes, and everyone talks about how expensive Hawai'i is :wink: If you go from the island Catalina Divers Supply has a two-tank dive for $107 (their prices on line may not be accurate) but, of course, you have to get there so that's another $75 or so for the Ferry (check Groupon before buying tickets). So far all I did was rent a tank from them but they seem to have good reviews.

I was at Casino Point last Sunday and there were hundreds of "divers" there so I would think you wouldn't have too much trouble finding someone to dive with.

Welcome (from Riverside)!
 
That's right, and in Hawaii I can dive with Manta Rays for less. Also for me I'd add the price of a room in Catalina so I can take it slow. Compare to a 2-tank dive up in Monterey near where live for $85!

Anyway, glad to hear of lots of folks at Casino Point. I'll be in Irvine next week and just may have to get over to Catalina.
