COVID MASKS MANDATORY BETWEEN DIVES.

Let's go diving! (Limited load, Covid protocol in-place.)

This will be a three-tank local trip aboard the well-appointed Humboldt (Waterhorse Charters). The boat provides tanks (steel 85s) and weights. Air compressor is on-board. You may bring your own tank if you prefer, but be sure to email Waterhorse at info@waterhorsecharters.com and let them know beforehand. This helps them setup the boat. Also, you are only guaranteed ONE (1) tank aboard. (Coast Guard weighting thing.) 2nds on a case-by-case only.

Nitrox tanks provided for an extra charge. (Nitrox tanks are not filled on-board. Call ahead of time to set up.)

You provide all other gear. (The boat rents gear if you need it. Call ahead to arrange with them.)

FOOD and SHOWER: The boat also provides great food (prepared with sinirary requirements in mind) and drinks between dives. And, oh yes, they have a hot, fresh-water shower on-board too.

BUDDIES: If you don't have a buddy you may team up with another single on the boat. There are always buddies... however, do not think your buddy will be responsible for you or your diving. You must have good skills and habits to dive at these events. Your buddy will not "baby sit" you.

LIMITED LOAD (15) COST: $105.55

To make reservations: Simply RSVP here (first) then pay via the PayPal link above on this page (safe and secure... we've used it for years).

DIVE SITES:

DINO HEAD: Sitting in 75 fsw, the aptly-named Dino Head stands welcomingly at the top of a "wash", which goes down to 99 fsw, with excellent walls on either side. Great structure and exploring opportunities.
MAIN WALL: Not far from Dino Head is an excellent wall structure. Very fun to dive. 65-100 FSW.

6 Fathoms/Table Tops: A little shallower for our third dive. 55-85 fsw

CHECK-IN: 7:00 am. Go to the office first to fill out paperwork, then load your gear onto the boat directly behind the office building. (Don't go down to the boat until told to by a crew-member.) The boat leaves the dock at 7:45 am sharp.

TO BACK OUT FULLY, you must CHANGE YOUR RSVP TO "NO" here and request a Paypal refund via powerscuba1@gmail.com. Include the Paypal Transaction ID #.

POINTERS:
1)Bring your cert card... really. 2)Hydrate well. 3)Take seasickness medication like Bonine if you think you're at all inclined towards seasickness. 4)Eat a decent, non-greasy meal before boarding. 5)Bring something to keep you warm between dives (overcoat, boat jacket, etc). 6)Bring a torch for peering into nooks and crannies. 7)End your dive close to the boat (unless you enjoy long surface swims). 8)ALWAYS bring your dive essentials: A safety sausage, knife, and whistle... MANDATORY! 9)Don't forget to tip the boat crew if they do a good job for you. The DM is there for your safety. Take care of him/her!

BOAT ETIQUETTE REMINDER:
1)Don't be late. 2)Space is limited on a boat. Stow all your gear where directed to by crew. 3)Keep gear out of the walk-way. 4)Inflate your BC at the bench, but put your fins on at drop-in point (don't flip flop over people's feet and gear). 5)Don't rinse your mask or other gear in the CAMERA BUCKET! 6)Don't clog up the marine head with Baby Ruth bars, tampons, or similar. 7)If you have to throw up, do it downwind (leeward), NOT IN THE HEAD. 8)If you have to cancel, do it well before the cutoff time so we have a chance to sell your seat.

(Visibility and liability do not allow for that.) Nor will the Organizer tell you whether you are skilled enough for a dive. (You must decide that by yourself or with a dive pro.) You must plan and execute your dive with your dive buddy only. Once members arrive, the Organizer becomes simply another diver.
