Barges are in Emerald Bay, very shallow, and would need a boat for easy access. Sailboat is in Hurricane Bay, Speed boat is in Meeks Bay.

Will we have boats available to us? If so then Meeks bay, we can camp there, launch at the marina, dive from the beach, its a short drive to hurricane bay to access the sailboat, or a short boat ride to Rubicon wall and Emerald bay. I like to do the barges their shallow, but its an interesting easy wreck dive, great for all skill levels. I'd recommend Rubicon wall for more advanced levels, definitely don't want to do it with no buoyancy control.Now you're talking!
So, which one is better?

Personally, I need a bottom. I don't like when I can't see the bottom.
Here's your motivation (or not):
Famed oceanographer Jacques Cousteau is said to have had a brush with something horrific in a deepwater dive in the mid-1970s. “The world isn’t ready for what was down there,” is the quote most commonly credited. Cousteau never released any photographs or data from the dive, adding to the mystery and legend.
Some believe Cousteau was talking about a Loch Ness monster-like creature that locals call “Tahoe Tessie.”
Many have told me that, if you were to take a submarine down 900 feet just off South Shore, you would see hundreds of bodies suspended in the water, preserved perfectly like an underwater wax museum, most wearing clothes from the 1920s, ’30s and ’40s.
The legend is that this is where the Mafia killers dumped bodies after executions. Some fishermen even call the spot The Grave. At Tahoe, many locals talk as if everybody knows about this, that there are lots of gangsters down there, wearing pinstriped suits, with sneers on their faces and bullet holes in their foreheads.
It has long been verified that Tahoe is a lake that does not give up its dead. That is because the lake is so deep, with an average depth of 989 feet, and so cold, with the temperature hovering just above freezing. So that prevents the creation of gases that would otherwise bloat and float corpses to the surface as in other waters.
Legend? Fiction? Too many beers? You decide!

I guess it's Monterey then... 
How about putting out a summer schedule (ala Wrinkles in LA) for the summer/year
(Sample only)
May - Breakwater
June - Meeks Bay, Tahoe
July - Monastery (Alternate Breakwater)
August - Boat

Great Idea,
It does look like Monterey has a big lead, Now, do we want BW? Macabee? Coral Street?or??????
I think we should do Lovers again, maybe this time I won't drop my light and spend the dive searching the eel grass for it.
We probably have too many people to hold it at Lobos, but we sure can try.
