2012 CIDA Dive Trip Schedule

May Happenings

The summer is upon us and the main diving season is starting to kick into full gear, at least for Channel Islands Dive Adventures and to really kick it into gear CIDA has lowered the prices of all the trips for the rest of the year. Check out the current trip schedule with all the new lower prices and we hope this will encourage more divers to see why CIDA has some of the best trips around!

Starting out is the Catalina trip on May 12th (good for all level divers) and then moving to a more advanced trip to San Miguel on June 2nd. If your looking for something really different, CIDA has two special 2 day wreck, reef & exploring trips with Pat Smith aboard to pass on some great information and history about the wrecks we will be diving. The first one is on June 9th & 10th aboard the Pacific Star to San Clemente & Catalina where we plan to dive the wrecks of the Butler & Midnight Express and the second is on July 6th & 7th aboard to Peace going up towards Pt. Conception to dive the SM1 & The Gosford. Check the Trip Schedule to see all the other different and cool trips CIDA has to offer!

If your looking for a dive vacation there is still some room on either the North Carolina trip on June 16th-23rd or the Cozumel trip on September 16th-22nd. Both trips are ideal for divers and non-divers and will be lot’s of fun. Dive vacations with a group are an excellent way to travel and make new friends!

We hope the next time you are thinking of going out diving either on a boat or a dive vacation that you will consider Channel Islands Dive Adventures…we have some exciting and cool trips planned and would love to have you along!

Keep Diving, Ken Kollwitz

Featured Dive Trips

San Clemente, Catalina & Wrecks 2 day trip on June 9th & 10th

Diving San Clemente is some of the best diving Socal has to offer. San Clemente is a large island with so many varied dive sites that you just can’t get enough in one trip. There are deeper wall dives & reefs, along with some excellent shallow reef dives with bat rays that will leave you with lasting memories and to top it off we will have Pat Smith aboard to offer some history and info on the wrecks of the John C. Butler and the Midnight Hour wrecks.

PT. Conception-The SM1 & Gosford wrecks plus some exploring on July 6th & 7th

This is something totally new for the Peace and it’s brought to you by CIDA with hopes of more trips like this in the future. Our goal is to not only dive the SM1 & Gosford, but to also dive some unexplored & very seldom dived places. CIDA does have some very good targets from friends using special mapping software. Some of the targets could be other wrecks and some may just be a cool reef, either way this trip is for the experienced and adventurous diver tired of doing the same old thing and using the Peace for a trip like this makes it even better!

Don’t miss out, sign-up soon!

North Carolina Wreck/Shark Teeth Dive Trip-June 16-23, 2012

North Carolina is known as “The Graveyard of the Atlantic” and gets its name from the estimated 2000 shipwrecks scattered along the North Carolina coastline. Many of these historic vessels are accessible to divers and close by is the Meg Ledge where we will be diving for Megladon shark teeth.
