Sounds fun! I love diving in Hawaii where it's a bit warmer. I usually like to snorkel more and dive that way also very cool.

just thought I'd share. I need to go bathe and sleep now.
Breakwater, Lubers point, Monastery? Where? I love coldwater diving

Lubers Point once you do it enough :lol: Fun place to tink around at but it's a bit crowded for me.
I'd always take my classes to Monastery is it's about as wild as your going to get. If your students learn there they can dive anywhere. Those city dive shops seems to coddle their students too much. And when they'd take them to a good place, they'd send them out mid beach where the surf zone is 5x as long as the out edge where we do our entries from.
Breakwater was only used if the swell was massive or we wanted to do a safe night dive. It's great for night dives.

Ambergris Caye is the best place I've gone diving. It's a small island off the coast of belize. water was so clear and the people on the island are so nice. food there is incredible. Plus we dove at the blue hole out there. if you dive you have to check out the blue hole and Ambergris Caye island. There are so many places to dive at.

Are people still diving over by Point Lobos? It's been years, but I love that place.

Monastery Beach is the next cove north of Point Lobos and it's a major training beach
Not sure on the actual park given the cut backs and all.

Bali sounds fun. I would like to go there one day. My brother wants us to make another family trip but this time to thailand. I want to go to visit some kiwis I know in Australia. never did monterey. I like warmer water and lots of visability. my brothers did it though. they seemed to like it. maybe one day.
