New to the forum - looking for divers!

Hey guys,

I just moved up here from southern California and have been looking for some charters that go out to the farallones or to good spots in monterey/big sur.

I haven't had much luck meeting people who dive or even finding boats that go out. Does anybody know of somewhere they can recommend?

Thanks,
Joe

Not many folks going out to the Farallones for diving these days.

As to local diving, that's a totally different story. As for dive boats, there are plenty of them in Monterey and not a bad one in the bunch. Check them out at Monterey SCUBA Diving Charter Boats. As for finding buddies, look for a local dive club (whose members actually dive here). There's a pretty good list at California Diver Magazine - California Dive Clubs | Scuba diving and skin diving California and beyond

What part of the Bay Area do you now live in?

jflow, If you are ever in the Monterey area hit me up. I live in Seaside so I can normally jump in at a short notice, and I am always looking for new buddies

Feel free to look me up as well. I'm in Carmel. Most days I can dive is Monday and Tuesday and some Wednesdays. Busy the next several weeks however. Feel free to PM me if you are open after mid February. Welcome to the area!

Welcome. Where in SoCal do you hail from?

If you're like me, you'll miss the Garibaldi and lobsters, but there's some great diving here.

I've been buddying with NorCal section divers all year & met a lot of good folk.

Sounds good to me man... I don't mind a bit of a drive either so if you ever want to go out... From a boat or from the beach, give me a ring: 805.300.6111
