We experienced some of the warmest water in the world….86-88 degrees on every dive with hundreds of feet of viz….amazing. One of the best ways of diving is on a liveaboard….everything is included and 5 dives a day! Check out these pics!!
December brought hot weather and epic diving in SoCal…Congrats to all the divers that earned their certifications.
Although we did not have our annual Holiday Party…it was still an epic month at SSA. Taco Tuesday’s at Los Portales, Chino was a ton of fun!
