Alacosta Dive Club is organizing our yearly SCUBA trip to Catalina Island
Take advantage of our $999 early bird special.
Sunday Sept. 1 to Sunday Sept. 8, 2013
Emerald Bay Boy Scout Camp
West End, Santa Catalina Island
Every year Alacosta Dive Club organizes a trip to Catalina that is open to all certified divers who become members. We take a chartered boat with our gear from Long Beach directly to the Emerald Bay Boy Scout Camp (after the scouts have departed) and spend a week diving.
Divers can also bring their non-diving family members or friends at a lower cost.
A different kind of SCUBA trip.
Divers decide which two underwater sites to explore each day because we operate the club's own 16' Achilles inflatables. Club inflatables explore Ship Rock, Bird Rock, Eagle Reef, and even Italian Gardens. If you've never dived inflatables, or are new to California diving, you can ramp up your skills by shore diving exquisite kelp forests in Doctor's Cove directly from the camp's beaches. Snorkeling is available to non-divers, and we have unlimited access to the BSA sit-on-top kayaks for short trips to Fisherman's rock, Table Rock or Inspiration Point all close by Emerald Bay.
A short hike from camp provides island solitude and amazing vista's of the California coast from the cliffs surrounding Emerald Bay.
Trip Includes:
- Six days of diving, 2 dives a day from club inflatables.
- shore dives in Doctor’s Cove and Emerald Bay,
- platform tents (cabins available for a fee), hot showers,
- 3 catered meals a day,
- 12 air fills,
- charter boat to & from Catalina to carry gear leaving early morning of Sunday Sept. 1 from Long Beach.
Don't want to lug tanks to Catalina? Rentals are available at minimal cost courtesy of the Boy Scouts; other gear can also be rented by prior arrangement.
Provide a $200 deposit in before the end of May to take advantage of the early bird special: $999.
After that the cost will be $1,049.
*(Fee does not include required $30 Club yearly membership plus $20 one-time equipment fee for new member; additional family members who SCUBA dive pay $15 for yearly membership and $20 for the one-time fee)

*Current costs are based on a minimum of 10 divers to make the trip a go. The trip is run on a break-even basis for the club, so the more people that come, the more actual costs may go down, which means you may receive a refund. You receive a credit if you can transport a boat or a motor in your car or truck.
