I am fine with pretty much any dates so long as the date is planned out there in advance. Sounds good and thanks for taking up the planning!

The Cypress Sea is a pretty big boat. The Beachhopper II will also go to Carmel, but it only holds 12. The Monterey Express holds 20, and the schedule looks pretty open.

I absolutely, positively, will not go on the Escapade. Count me out if you choose the Escapade.

If they're filled up for July and August, I'm all for waiting until fall. The diving usually improves by then, anyway. Winter is even better, but a crapshoot because of the weather.

I can plan another beach dive somewhere, if need be, before the boat trip.

This sounds like a great idea. The site Dannobee was pointing out to us, I think it is called Lobo Rock, sounds awesome.

Way to go Mike - you're in charge

Lobos Rock is south, on the Carmel/ Big Sur border. It's a fantastic dive 60 to 90 feet or so. Many times it's not divable, but when it is, it's well worth the trip., Lots of water movement (it's an exposed dive) but for local diving, it can easily stack up to Monastery if you get the right conditions.

I'll check into the Monterey Express. 12 is pushing the small side IMO.

The Silver Prince can hold 20 but they limit it to 14 usually. They might allow more if we charter the boat though.

I'll send them an email to see whats what. If they let us go up to 20 divers than the $745 charter wouldn't be that bad.

If anyone else knows of a boat that can hold 15(ish)+ divers please let me know. The more people we check with the more likely we are to get what we want.

Tell them your planning a scubaboard event and they'll get tons of free publicity. see if that helps

BTW I'd prefer a run to Carmel sites if possible.
