Anacapa Drift-DV Triton-March 16, 2024-(Advanced diver or above)

Join CIDA for a drift diving trip to the outer reefs off Anacapa Island aboard the DV Triton dive boat

 

Anacapa Island has some exhilarating diving on some outer deeper reefs and pinnacles. Most are seldom dived and drift diving them is the best way to maximize your dive. This is good for photography, but even better for hunting. A surface marker buoy and knowing how to use it is required for this trip.

This trip is best suited for

Advanced divers and above that have experience in cold water conditions including; current, swell, possible limited visibility and deep water. Most importantly, good buoyancy control is needed and surface signal tubes are always required.

Trip Highlights

Our plan, depending on the weather is to drift dive some of the deeper outer reefs off Anacapa Island. These reefs are between 60′-120 ft but we will concentrate on ones more in the range of 60′-90′. The reefs we will dive can be very diverse and you just never know what you will see. Most boats seem to forget about some of these sites because they are out away from the island where currents can sometimes be an issue but on a good day when you can dive the outer reefs & pinnacles, you will be glad you did, especially when you can drift dive them.

The Boat

The DV Triton is 40′ x 12′ in size and set up for only six divers. It’s a new-to-dive trips around the Channel Islands, local wrecks, and awesome coastal diving, and gives divers choices they never had before. The owner of the DV Triton, Danny Graham, has been diving for years as a recreational, Tech and rebreather diver. A few years back, he went from working for Nuvair to owning a boat doing commercial urchin diving and removing old nets and lobster cages. Mid 2023 Danny received his captain’s license and license to operate the boat for six divers. Now, Danny can operate the boat for a multitude of work and keep doing what he loves.  If you are an Experienced Advanced Diver or above and are looking for something different than the usual diving, the DV Triton is for you.

Where the Triton lacks creature comforts, it makes up for it with speed, tank fills, and the ability to do things and dive locations you can not with other dive operators. For tank fills, there is a 3500 PSI compressor with banked 35% Nitrox and the ability to do custom Nitrox mixes and supply 100% 02. It is best to bring your tank full for the first dive, and then for the second and third dives, you can get Nitrox fills for free. Read more about the DV Triton HERE.
