Saturday October 6th Diving - Monterey, CA

[sarita75]

There have been some rumblings in the other thread about going some diving on Saturday, October 6th. I am contemplating some night dives, most likely at the Breakwater that evening.

Anyone interested? Night and/or Day? Whereabouts?

Not that I'm tired of Breakwater, but how does McAbee Beach during the day sound? Parking is a little tougher. Breakwater is a cool night dive. I've also heard Lover's Point is a cool night dive. The restrictions don't apply at night, if I remember right. I'd be cool with doing 3 dives. 2 days and a night.

The Lovers restrictions apply from May 1st to September 30th, on Friday, Saturday, Sunday, Memorial Day, 4th of July, Labor Day, and Admission Day (Sept. 9, but sometimes celebrated on a nearby day), 11:30 a.m. to sunset. See http://www.garlic.com/~triblet/singles/lovers.html
So no problem for a night dive in October.

I've wanted to check out Mcabee and I've heard Lovers is a good night dive too....lots of octopi.

Well, I am fine with whereever for the night dive (and I am sure Mark will be the same). I like the BW only b/c of "familiarity" reasons - but am perfectly doing something else completely.

I would like to check out Macabee as well, but have a feeling that parking would be ridiculous as it is a Saturday night. (?)

I was thinking McAbee during the day. It would be cool to do it at night, but the parking, as you pointed out, would be hard to come by. BW was a cool night dive. I suggested Lover's since I've never done a night dive there. I've probably said this a few times, but McAbee is probably one of my favorite dives in Monterey. There were 2 dive boats anchored off of McAbee on Sunday, so there is definitely something to the place.

Well, Michelle and Brad - why don't you make a choice as to where you would like to dive for the evening dive and whoever wants to make it, can come.

 

[micboucher]

How about Lover's since it sounds like it'll be a new place for a night dive for most of us. Does that sound good to you Brad?

And I'd love to do a day dive at McAbee and, if we have time, another one at Lover's to scope out the area for the night dive.

Oooh, count me in. I'm dying to see an octopus.

Great! We'll let you know where and when. We'll all have to exchange contact info when it gets closer.
