Hey guys,
Got a couple of questions:
1. what is the water temperature like in monterey in may?
2. are there any places available to camp down there over memorial weekend, or is everything completely zooed out?

the reason I ask is that I am doing an advanced OW dive class right now in school and we were thinking we might try to dive there for our checkout dives.

thanks for your replies
 
Water temp is in the 50's pretty much year round. As for camping, I haven't a clue. And yes, it is a zoo over Memorial weekend generally. :D Best of luck in your AOW.
 
Temp 48-52F

The closest I know of is Sunset SB. There are other State Beaches New Brighton. Can make advanced reservations on website. If you have self contained there is Elk Horn Slough Moss Landing SB.

Sunset SB
 
For camping check out: Campgrounds and Camping Reservations - ReserveAmerica but book early, things go fast. Theres several larger camp grounds in Aptos/Santa Cruz if your up for a short drive.

Ditto on the temps 48-58F. Hey at least they aren't in Kelvin right?
 
thanks for the replies guys, I guess we will just see what happens, and hey I normally dive in brookings or crescent city which was around 48 F the last time so anything above 50 sounds downright tropical.

besides after diving in hawaii I decided that cold water dives are more intersting.
