Big Blue Dive Boat

CANCELLATIONS We understand that sometimes people can't make trips due to family emergencies, injuries, sickness, or other unexpected things that pop up. Due to... running Big Blue as a 6 pack, any last minute cancellations are very difficult to fill. Without COVID-19 and being able to fill the boat to maximum capacity, a few cancellations are no problem. Given the current circumstances, a few cancellations for a trip may even prevent the boat from going out. What are things you can do? - If you can't make a trip, let us know well in advance (1-2 weeks in advance) - Find a replacement to take your spot on the trip. Ask around with your dive buddies and friends. Please also let us know ASAP of the change and have them fill out a digital waiver on our website. Thank you for understanding and let's all try out best to keep the boat running, so we can continue to take you all diving.

Do you guys and gals like swim thrus? Have you dove this swim thru before? (Hint: it's not at Shaw's Cove) #TBT to this heart shaped swim through at this popular Catalina dive site.... We still have room for our trip on Sunday 12/13. Come join and join us.

Who wants to go diving? Not a fan of beach diving? We still have space on a few of our trips this month. Get your last dives of 2020 in. We have 4 spots we are looking to fill for our Sunday 12/13 trip. We just had reports of 70ft vis yesterday. Sign up via our website. We are continuing to run our trips and follow the COVID guidelines on our website.... Masks are to be worn any time you're not about to enter the water. We are still running at half capacity with a maximum of 6 divers. #bigbluediveboatla

Check out this cool drone video from last weekend by @scuba41_diverdown Conditions look great again for this weekend. Check out that visibility and the kelp. We have a few spots left for our trip on Sunday 12/13. #bigbluediveboatla

Happy Veterans Day! Our Big Blue crew would like to thank all service members for their service and the sacrifices made to our country. Freedom isn't free.

Happy Tech Tuesday! A shot of our friend @doubles_adventures scootering around. Did you know the UB88 is the one and only German U-boat that is located on our West Coast? : @rhythmrat1 ... #techtuesday #techdiving #bigbluediveboatla #ub88

Just Breathe. We know it was a long week last week and we had some rough conditions over the weekend, but everything will be okay. We couldn't go out last weekend due to strong winds and the Small Craft Advisory, but we're back on schedule with our Veterans Day trip on Wed and our trips this weekend. Who is looking forward to some classic SoCal Fall diving conditions? We should be releasing our December schedule in a few days. Please stay tuned for our trips we will be droppi...ng. Take care of each other and see you soon on Big Blue. #bluemonday #bigbluediveboatla

We have just processed the refunds for the cancelled trips due to weather. Keep an eye out for them folks and sorry the weather would not play nice! See you all soon.

It's Fish Friday, but today's post is a little different. What are some of the ways we can reduce plastic waste? It can be simple as bringing your reusable water bottle or coffee cup whenever you go out or on Big Blue. Forget to bring utensils for your meal? We have metal utensils just in case you forgot, just ask one of our crew members. We also have a blue recycling bin for soda cans and any recyclable plastics you might have. It's hard to break the habit of plastics, but e...very little bit helps. It's been a long week for everyone and unfortunately we can't take you guys and gals diving this weekend, but we will be back next Wed for our Veterans Day trip. #Repost from @projectaware Scientists from @nocnews calculated that the top 200 meters of the Atlantic Ocean alone contains up to 21 million metric tons of tiny plastic fragments floating, sampling 12 sites in the middle of the Atlantic between the UK and the Falkland Islands. @less.plastic.more.turtle #plasticpollution #microplastics #BreakFreefromPlastic #beatplasticpollution #fishfriday

UPDATE: This weekend's trips on 11/7 (Sat) and 11/8 (Sun) are CANCELLED due to weather. We have some bad news, as some of you guys and gals have been following following the weather reports already know. Unfortunately, we have to cancel our trips this weekend due to the Small Craft Advisory put out by NOAA. We will be reaching out and contacting those that were on our trips this weekend. For those that were on our Photo Day trip with Michael Zeigler, we will be looking to res...chedule for December. We are aiming for 12/12 right now. Stay warm and dry this weekend and we will go diving again soon.

We hope everyone is doing well today. We have 2 spots left for our Women's Dive Day aka "Leave your boyfriend or husband at home day" this month on 11/28 (Sat) First come, first serve. So call up your gal pals and reserve your spot. Our December schedule will be released next week.

Happy Tech Tuesday! Our friends @vlad_underwater and @laikabear hanging out during deco What do you like to do during deco or safety stops? - taking photos of the fish or your buddy... - rock, paper, scissors - tic, tac, toe with your wetnotes Let us know in the comments.

Have you ever had a mentor in your diving career before? Let us know in the comments. Our Captain Sheldon @sheldjon9 showing DM Briana @brizeef28 the ropes on one of our dives last year. As a newer diver a few years ago, it is definitely nice to learn from the old school and also boy do they have a lot of stories to tell. #bigbluediveboatla
