I'll update this first post as a running synopsis of this thread.

This is a Post Wrinkles Sunday Boat Dive for the day after the Wrinkles Dive in the Casino Point Dive Park.

For a complete list of all of the Wrinkles dives for the 2007 calendar year, see this thread:

http://www.scubaboard.com/showthread.php?t=169078

When:
Sunday, March 11th

Where:
The Scuba Cat
In Avalon, CA on the Green Pier aka The Pleasure Pier

Directions (click here)

For reservations call:
(310) 510-0330

Destination:
Catalina Island (2 dives)

You can board the boat at 9am for the 10am departure. (The boat leaves year round at 9am on Saturday & Sunday and 10am Monday-Thursday, but this is a special "late departure" for us on this day.)

The boat returns at around 2:30 pm so that you can catch the 3:45pm boat at The Mole. For your convenience they can drop you and your things off right at The Mole. That saves you from having to haul your stuff from the Green Pier to The Mole!

Cost:
(includes refreshments/snacks and AL80 tanks. Since they do not fill tanks on the boat, if you dive your own larger tank on the first dive then you will only have an AL80 on the second dive.)

Note that this is a special arrangement and reflects a pricing structure for these specific ScubaBoard events. It does not represent Catalina Divers Supply's regular pricing structure.

$90 ea. = 0 - 8 people
$85 ea. = 9 - 16 people
$80 ea. = 17 - 26 people

Don't wait until the last minute to sign up for any of these boats.

Remember that each of these boats is working on filling these open boats just like we are. If a shop comes along in February that wants to fill an October boat and we have only taken 3 spots. The rest of those spots will be sold. That's the only way that we can work with these boats and not make a financial commitment to them up front.

I've already given my credit card number to all of these boats to hold a spot for me. Keep in mind that they only use the card to hold the spot and will only charge it on the day of the trip, so if you book these trips now for the whole year, you won't be charged for a year's worth of boat diving all at once.


What is the Post Wrinkles Sunday Boat Dive?

Since many people travel for the entire weekend when we go to Catalina Island for the Wrinkles Beach Dive, we are trying something new for our Wrinkles Dives in this region. We are adding a 2 tank boat dive on Sunday for people that would like to do a couple of dives in a location other than the Dive Park in the morning before going back home on Sunday. This will also allow those of you who can't make it out on a Saturday to join us on a Sunday.

This is a monthly gathering of all divers in SoCal who can make it.

It all started when our SoCal member, Wrinkles, mentioned to a group that she dove with that it would be really fun to be able to get together at least once a month. Pasley, took off with the idea and announced the first "Wrinkles Dive". The rest is history!

It's open to divers of all skill levels from "What's an anchor line?" to "Do we really have to dive the Andrea Doria again?"

This is a great way to meet our fellow divers and make new dive buddies! You don't have to have a buddy to participate, lots of us would be happy to buddy up with you.

I think I may try and hang around to make this dive.... I'll call tomorrow to see about setting up a spot..:14:
 
This Post Wrinkles Sunday Boat Dive has been cancelled due to lack of interest.

Hopefully, the next Post Wrinkles Sunday Boat Dive for July 15th will prove to be more of a draw. If not, then we may just need to stick to doing this only in San Diego.

I look forward to seeing everyone on Catalina this weekend!

Hey, Christian, I didn't notice the thread, actually, or at least, not in conjuction with the Wrinkles dive at Catalina. I'll be there all weekend, though, and would love to go out on the boat with you, if you're still going.

Hi Kalani,

It was the first time that we were going to try this on Catalina, so it may be that a few people didn't notice my posts in the Wrinkles thread about it. We also have a smaller crowd coming to Catalina this time.

I'm sure the turn out will be better for the July Wrinkles trip. Some things take a while to catch on.

At this point, there would only be 2 or 3 people on Sunday and that's not enough to take the boat out.

We'll have fun in the Dive Park, just as we always do.

Christian
