Catalina: Spring Break 2012
Bahamas Liveaboard 2012
Palau Liveaboard 2013
 

Catalina Dreaming on such a winter's day...
(apologies to the Mammas and the Pappas)

Spring Break Dive Trip, March 26 to 29, 2012

Diving the kelp forests of Santa Catalina Island, 26 miles across the sea from Long Beach, California, is one of the easiest and most interesting experiences on the US west coast. Located near the intersection of "tropical" and northwest critter zones, the marine life is abundant and diverse.

Our plan is to board the Catalina Express (the ferry from Long Beach to Avalon Harbor) on Monday morning March 26, 2012. We're staying for the next four nights at the Catalina Canyon Resort, a very diver friendly destination.

We're diving Tuesday, March 27, aboard the King Neptune, a 66 foot long, 18 foot wide dive boat. Our plan is three boat dives Tuesday. Wednesday, back aboard the King Neptune for two more boat dives. Wednesday afternoon, a guided dive at the Avalon Dive Park, just a few blocks from our hotel. Thursday, a day of shore dives in the dive park. Friday, a leisurely ferry ride back to Long Beach.

So, how much will all this cost, you ask? $675 per diver. $385 per non-diver.

What's included?
Round trip ferry on the Catalina Express
Four nights lodging at the Catalina Canyon Resort (ppdo)
Two days of boat dives aboard the King Neptune Dive charter
Lunch and beverages aboard King Neptune
Tanks and weights aboard the King Neptune.
Tanks and weights for four shore dives at the Casino Point Dive Park

What's not included?
Travel to Long Beach Harbor from home
Meals (other than those aboard the King Neptune)
Equipment rental
Room upgrades

What will rental gear cost on Catalina?

A full set of rental gear, BCD, regulator, wet suit, hood, weights, gloves from Scuba Luv, the local dive shop and operator of the King Neptune, will run $45.00 the first day, $22.50 each additional day.


Who should consider coming on this trip?
Families with divers and non-divers
Recently certified divers
Experienced divers
Underwater photographers
REEF (fish and invertebrate) Surveyors

What are the travel options from home to Long Beach?
Fly from Portland to LA International (group shuttle to Long Beach)
Drive (I5 south, an easy 2 day drive or LONG one day drive)
Amtrak

What's available for a non-diver on Catalina?
Too much to list here
Visit the Catalina Chamber of Commerce web site
Space is available for 24 divers aboard the King Neptune. Plenty of non-diver space is available. Care to join me?

Some details:

The Liveaboard Lifestyle has come to the Bahamas and the Out Islands! Throughout the week aboard the Carib Dancer, an intimate 14-passenger monohull yacht, guests will depart Nassau to explore the dramatic walls, lush coral reefs and exciting animal encounters of the Exuma Cays Land and Sea Park. This protected area is one of the world’s most successful marine parks with an area of 176 square miles consisting of an array of more than 350 small islands and cays.

The crystal-clear tropical Atlantic pours over the deep cuts between the cays and constantly shifting sand bars. Waters are thick with coral reefs that are alive with every imaginable ocean critter from the living jewels – angelfish and butterfly fish – to the charismatic food-chain toppers like grouper and barracuda – right down to the tiniest living invertebrates. Night diving allows guests to experience an entirely different group of critters and bevy of behaviors not visible during the day.

And, now, the renowned Dancer Fleet® is back to take you there in style, onboard the M/Y Tropic Dancer. Get ready to enjoy the thrill of drift diving with schooling sharks, the beauty of healthy hard and soft corals, the tranquility of Jellyfish Lake, the historic WWII wrecks and the vibrant fish life that all make up the diving in this grand place.

Diving will be conducted from an 18 passenger tender which will transport guests to exciting Palau dive sites like Peleliu Corner, Blue Corner, German Channel and Ulong Channel, just to name a few. Most of the diving in Palau is drift diving and this speedy tender, easily boarded from the dive deck of Tropic Dancer and easily re-entered from the water when you surface, will deliver you to the best diving.
