Hey divers- Just a reminder that we'll have Rod Surratt & Hosam Elshenawi from Beach Cities Scuba at our meeting on Monday. They'll talk about local diving off Dana Point, and the ACE wreck, which we'll be diving on the 23rd. Some have asked if we can pay for the dive at the meeting, and yes you can! I never got bios from them, so I have info from their website: The Riviera is the only dive vessel located in the convenient Dana Point Harbor in South Orange County and is an exceptional way to experience Orange County’s local diving without the hassle of beach diving. The Riviera is focused on serving divers, snorkelers, underwater hunters, photographers and private charters. On the Riviera you will enjoy a 2 tank local dive trip exploring the reefs and kelp forests of San Clemente, Laguna Beach, Dana Point and Newport Beach. The Riviera is outfitted to accommodate 30 passengers, but we only take 14 divers to maximize your comfort! We certainly can't beat the price... If your dive club brings a minimum of 5 divers, we can give you each spot for $80. This goes for this trip as well as any other. Normal price is $99, so that is a good discount. If your divers wish to have nitrox on board, the cost is an additional $10 per tank, so $20 for nitrox on both dives. We need to know about this before hand. Once you have the minimum 5 divers, please phone us so we can set up payment and confirm the trip. After that, if you have more sign ups they can call us individually to sign up and get the $80 price. http://www.rivierayachtcharters.com/scuba-diving/ A little more on the wreck: http://www.rivierayachtcharters.com/news/ And, they do burials at sea, so bring those ashes that might still be lying around the house! (Sorry if that was in poor taste...) sb
