WHAT TO BRING WHEN YOU GO
BOAT DIVING
- You must hane night diving and lobster hunting experience, all of the correct fishing and lobster hunting licenses.
- All of your own lobster bag, gauge, primary light, backup light and tank light. Cooler to transport your catch home in.
- You will need to bring your own blanket/sleeping bag and pillow.
- One FULL air tank. Ask to have it checked before you leave the store. Trust no one. Tanks are refilled on boat.
- All your regular SCUBA gear including weights. Lay everything out and use a checklist. Pack (in a dive roller bag works best) in reverse order so the items you will need first are on top.
- Gear: regulator, BCD, mask, fins, snorkel, boots, gloves, hood, exposure suit, surface marker buoy (SMB), anti-fog, cylinder, weights, dive lights, camera, extra batteries and anything else you normally dive with.
- C-Card

- Save-A-Dive kit (O-rings, mask and fin strap, computer battery, etc)
- Extra towel
- Sunscreen
- Hat
- Dive Parka, windbreaker or sweatshirt in case it gets cold.
- A change of clothes. Example: If I'm going to wear shorts and sandals, I will usually pack a pair of jeans, socks and tennis shoes. It's better to have it and not need it than to need it and not have it.
- Cash for gratuity. Most of the boat crews out here work for tips only and they split the tip jar at the end of the trip. Standard dining gratuity protocol is customary. $20.00-$230.00 for a 3 tank trip per person per day.
- It is recommended you tell someone you are going diving, the name of the boat you will be on, its scheduled destination (Catalina, San Clemente, etc.) and your scheduled return-to-dock time.
- Take motion sickness medication as directed if needed.
