I looked the dive up, would it be inappropriate for my new buddy? She's very physically fit and ridiculously good on air but < 10 dives still. This sounds like more fun than Redondo again

Depends on timing and her buoyancy skills. IF the timing is right it is a nice dive but it is a wall thus buoyancy is critical. I would suggest caution.

We'll do it when she stops corking up at 15 feet then, showing her where the rear dump valves on her BC might have improved that though...

Winte.r, gotta agree with Dusty. If she pops up out there, we would have to try to snag her from the Narrows Bridge!

And meet him you might with the crowd that will be descending on Day Island.

Looks like lots of folks are hitting this one, and not just the Thursday crew. Please park carefully, be prepared to walk a bit, carpool if you can, try not to yell to one another in excitement (which is what I always do), etc. etc. etc.

Should be a fun dive!

Good point. We should do our best to keep the car count, noise, ect, down to a minimum. No sense in stirring the pot with Mr #$%&.
