For the past 20 years, my buddy and I have been sponsoring a 3 day liveaboard trip to the Channel Islands the first week of August. Usually we have no problem filling our trip with folks we've met in past years, but the economy seems to have had an effect on everyone.

We're looking for easygoing divers, with some experience, who would like to join us this year. Our group tends to be early 30's to late 50's and very experienced though not gorilla divers. The goal is to have fun, shoot fish, take pics, gather some scallops, and enjoy the ocean for a couple of days. If that sounds good to you, let me know.

We have chartered Truth Aquatic's Conception for August 6,7,&8. Cost is $450 per diver and includes air fills and food. If you know anything about diving the Channel Islands, you'll know that Truth Aquatics is the finest diving operation in Southern California and the Conception is a very nice vessel.

If you're interested, call Rich at 925-766-4777 for more info.
