I haven't done a night dive recently. Thursday July 30 works well for me. Anyone else want to do a night dive then. Hopefully the surf will be down by then.
Night dive at Vets Thursday anyone?

I may be interested. We've had some really great dives out there recently and if the surf is manageable and we can get in, it should be good. The vis has been crap in the shallows but down under the thermocline, it really opens up.

Where's "Vets" (I'm new here in SoCal) and what time are you thinking?

Vet's is in Redondo Beach - at the corner of Pearl and Catalina. It's a fantastic night dive and can be quite a good day dive, but you have to slow down and know where to look.
Here's some more info about Vet's: from Pacific Wilderness and shorediving.com

I was probably thinking something like meet between 7:30 - 8:00 and get in the water between 8:00 - 8:30, out about 50 minutes later. I'm flexible but coming from Pasadena after work it's probably hard for me to commit to getting there before 7. I'd say 7:30 works best for me. Nicole?
Vets is probably the most frequently dived night dive in So Cal. It's one place you could just arrive on most any night and find someone to dive with. Maybe 10 - 20 divers going out each night.

Something came up and I'm not going to be able to make it....sorry! Next time hopefully - unfortunately the rest of August is probably not going to work either

Sounds great, but Redondo beach is a bit far for me from Oxnard on a weeknight... maybe another time!

Well I'm still not convinced that the surf will cooperate anyway and I hate running down there after work just to turn around so I guess it's another time. I was just hoping to get some night dives in while it's so hot. It seems like I do more night dives at Vets from Nov - Jan when you freeze changing out of a wetsuit (I dive wet all year), so I am hoping to start doing more summer dives there. Maybe August will work better.

Unfortunately for the wetsuit divers of socal, it seems that November through January has the best conditions, minus the colder topside weather...."luckily" for me, I get cold in 75F water in a wetsuit so I was pretty much forced to go dry.
Maybe September will be better and I can join you on a dive. I'll keep my fingers crossed for some warm weather, decent conditions dives in the near future for you, Rex!
