presented by

RODDENBERRY DIVE TEAM & DIVE CALIFORNIA

WHERE: La Jolla Shores

DATE: July 22rd, 2010 (First Day of Comic-Con)

TIME: 5:30 Early Bird Gathering - 8:30am Dive Time!

To all Scuba Divers and Ocean Lovers traveling to San Diego for this years Comic-Con event, come join the Roddenberry Dive Team and Dive California for a morning of adventure as we dive La Jolla’s Underwater Ecological Preserve. Generally, as scuba divers, we never need an excuse to go diving but in this particular case we’ve joined forces to provide our out-of-town aquatic brethren an unforgettable dive opportunity. RSVP REQUIRED!

DONUTS & COFFEE: For the early birds; a few of us will be arriving at La Jolla Shores (next to “Kellog Park”) around 5:30am to enjoy the sights and sounds of the ocean as the sun pours onto the pacific (Sunrise = 5:56 am). Coffee, Donuts and Muffins will be available to the first 50 (approx) people that arrive. We plan on gathering at one of the beach-side fire-pits for a bit of warmth and camaraderie. (If you have extras chairs and are willing to bring them, please do so for our out of town guests).

DIVING & DISCOVERY: Around 7:30 am Scuba Divers will begin suiting up for our adventure to the La Jolla Underwater Canyon. Once geared-up and ready, we’ll do a surface-swim out about 100 yards to where the depth is approximately 40+ feet. After a final buddy/gear check, we’ll descend to bottom where we’ll continue west to a maximum depth of 100’. From there, each buddy team, while monitoring their depth, time and air, will explore this magnificent underwater realm and gradually work their way east back to the shore.

DIVE GEAR/RENTALS: The La Jolla Shore water temperature ranges from the low 50‘s at depth to the high 60‘s at the surface. 7mm wetsuits or Drysuits are recommended. ALL dive gear (including Tanks & Weights) must be brought with you as there will be no rentals available on site. However, gear rental are available prior 7/22/10 from local dive shops. If renting, remember to call ahead and reserve your gear and pick it up the day before (7/21/10).

Dive California is offering some great deals! All out of state residents joining us for this event will get 50% off all rental gear (with ID verification). All Roddenberry Dive Team Members will get a free air-fill as well as a 30% discount on their $50 air-fill card (Special $35). They will also be raffling a pair of APS Mantaray Fins at the event!
