class, and we have a host of other classes in the works from
basic open water to Tech 2.
So next time you’re in the bay area and would like to join fellow UTD divers, or even if you’re aspiring to join the ranks
of thinking divers, look up UTD Watersports Monterey on the
web or join the conversation on our Facebook page. It’s a great
place to find out what dive conditions are like and to arrange
some local diving or dive training!
Getting Around: The Bay of Monterey is 115-miles, about a
two-hour drive, south of downtown San Francisco.
Dive Conditions: Year-round water temps are in the mid to upper 50s at the surface and in the upper 40s to low 50s at depth.
Cold-water diving experience is a necessity, and either a dry
suit or at least a 7mm thick wetsuit (with gloves, hood and
booties) is highly recommended. Visibility generally ranges
between 15 and 80 feet and is excellent year around, but most
consistent in spring and fall. Topside weather can be deceiving:
If it’s foggy or stormy on land, it doesn’t mean dive conditions
will be poor.
