Hi Bill. Have you checked your message box? I sent you a buddy request. Our group is heading to Catalina this Saturday, but the trip is sold out. I book charters and fill them up with local divebuddy.com members all the time to save cost. I think we will be heading to Anacapa next on June 30th. But don’t give up on the beach dives. The local community is much more active with the shore diving than boat diving, and I can find someone almost any day on any weekend of the year for a shore dive.
