Searching for SB Diving on July 16th....

[CobaltDiver]

I am going to be in SB for a wedding the weekend of July 17th and am trying to find a local operator to either dive with on that Friday July 16 or to arrange for someone qualified to guide me on a shore dive excursion. I am a PADI DM and would love to have the experience of diving off the California coast.

All I seem to find are multi day trips, and all that I have is Friday. If anyone has any ideas or advise as to how to proceed, I would appreciate it. I was inthe Channel Islands four or five years ago and snorkeled for a short while, but did not have an opertunity to dive. Most of my experience diving has been local or in the carribean, and California seems like a different under sea world to experience. :06:

I'd check the dive boat listings at http://www.californiadiveboats.com/. The Spectre and the Peace go out to the islands pretty much every day from Ventura and almost all of their trips are single-day trips. Ventura harbor is about 45 minutes from SB, and is your best bet for a channel islands trip.
