Texas Diver needs advice

[~Scuba_Steve~]

Hello I have a few questions, and need a little advice? I will be out in Los Alimitos on the 2nd of June for three weeks two vweekends on a business trip for Uncle Sam. The first weekend the wife will be with as we have never been to CA (other than the NTC, lol) I would like to take a trip to Catalina Island or simular for a day dive (I will bring my gear _ the tanks). Anyone know a day charter or something along those lines or recomendation? I will be staying in Long Beach. Thanks for any advice givin.

If your wife is not a diver you can take Catalina Express to Avalon and dive the underwater park while she shops or walks around town.
Catalina Express // Daily Trips To Catalina Island
There are many dive boats that go to Catalina as well. Check California Diving News : The Only Publication Dedicated to California Scuba Divers next month for the May/June schedules.

Hey Steve, these boats do provide tanks, probably aluminum 80's. I'm not sure about the weights. I do not dive nitrox, so I can't answer that,sorry. You should probably bring a 7mm if you have one.
