Hi,
A nice dive dive to do from the shore at breakwater, Monterey, California.
It's a long long kick dive, along the warf at the beginning.
I think it's better to do it with a scooter ! A double tanks or a rebreather will be more confortable if you decide to swim/kick.
You do want to take a compass and a diving reel or a spool. The barge is actually 20-30ft away from the end of the permanent line, and it helps a lot to find the line for the swim back.
The barge is far out enough to be in boat traffic (I heard a lot of boats, very loud).
Don't go to the surface out there if at all possible.
The website of the BAUE helped me, and I think that it's the BAUE who put the line; so thank you very much.

I dived 2 times on the barge, the first time I found the line without any problem, using a 330/340 angle with the compass, from the wharf#13.
the second time, I spend 10 min looking for the line. The bottle that help to find the line was just changed, and it was more difficult to see it. With an angle of 330, you can miss the line. With 340, it's better I think.
Anyway, thanks for the line (To whom it may concern).
Don't try this dive if you don't like to swimm a lot, and if you are not confortable with compass, and with boats at the surface.
