I went ahead and booked a trip on the Catalina Express. I will just drive up Saturday night and stay at a hotel. I called and emailed the Lois Ann at least 5 times in the past month and they will not return my calls or emails. So, I am going with the Sundiver folks. Now I just need to find someone to dive with me!
Just to avoid any confusion, the Catalina Express is the ferry that transports to and from Catalina Island. I think you are booked on the "SUNDIVER Express" which leaves from South Long Beach (Alamitos Bay). You'll enjoy the Sundiver. Say "hi" to Jules (DM Julie) for me if she's working.
