For this trip, we will do two dives, exploring some new sites and possibly diving some sites we have already been to. Most will be between 1-3 miles offshore from the Channel Islands Harbor in deeper water around 80'-100'. In this area lies the Kelpcutter, which is always a fun dive, and many pieces of the La Jennelle wreck that were scuttled after she was salvaged from running aground in Port Hueneme.
We will do a drift dive along the outer Channel Islands Harbor breakwall for our last dive. This dive is a beautiful dive with depths of between 10'-30'. The breakwall comprises large rocks that create a home for lots of marine life, including lobsters, fish, crabs, sea fans, and more. Even though this site is very close to shore it is seldom dived and can be a great place for hunting lobsters.
Advanced certification (AOW) or equivalent California experience required. Dive conditions could include cold water, current, swell, possible limited visibility and deep water. Surface Marker Buoys (SMB) are required for all divers, due to the possibility of being caught down current.
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.
