Hey all, I might be moving to San Diego in the very near future for work and had a few questions about the diving here.
What are the water temperatures like around here? Is there a big shift in water temps between the seasons. What kind of exposure protection do most people use?
I'm not sure how tight my funds will be at this point, so is there a lot of diving that can be done from the shore rather than boat dives?
I know there are quite a few marine biology programs in the area, does this mean there are a few younger divers in the area(I'm 23, just wondering if there are people my age or is it a lot like the east coast where diving seems to be mostly older people).
Some info about me, I'm 23, a software engineer, I'm AOW certified, have about 50 dives, about half quarry diving half in the Caribbean(have dove the NE Atlantic). If I move out here I would expect diving to be a bigger part of my life than it is now.
Any other info you can give me about diving here, or in San Diego in general would be great, especially from people who have made the move from the east coast.
Thanks!
