 Anacapa Island has some exhilarating diving on some outer deeper reefs and pinnacles. Most are seldom dived and can be great for hunting, photography, and sightseeing.  We plan to dive some of the deeper outer reefs off Anacapa Island. These reefs are between 60′-120 ft but we will concentrate on ones more in the range of 60′-90′. The outer reefs are very diverse and you just never know what you will see. Most boats seem to forget about some of these sites because they are out away from the island where currents can sometimes be an issue but on a good day when you can dive the outer reefs & pinnacles, you will be glad you did. Many times the visibility can be 20’-80’. 

 Advanced divers and above that have experience in cold water conditions including; current, swell, possible limited visibility and deep water. Most importantly, good buoyancy control is needed and surface signal tubes are always recommended. 

 The Spectre dive boat and crew do a great job, usually catering to new divers and divers new to the area, going to Anacapa and Santa Cruz Islands. However, with the special CIDA dive trips, this will not be the case. Our trips will all be limited-load for advanced divers and above and will go to more advanced sites around the islands. 

These trips have worked out great for CIDA and the Spectre because everyone loves the extra room on the limited-load trips, and the diving doesn’t get to be the same old thing going to different and more advanced dive sites. Captain Nate and the crew love it as well. Read more about the Spectre HERE.
