Re: 2014 Pacific Coast Championship

Thanks for stepping up as hosts. I don't participate with the illusion of winning but enjoy having a bar set to strive for. I'll try to stir up some local representation this year.

Re: 2014 Pacific Coast Championship

To clarify, the one mile only applies to the warmup zone and not for the tournament, correct?

It's a generalization based on entry spots, and the honor system.

From Moonstone/ Leffingwell, the next open jump is the creek and the campground. That's about a half a mile. The next jump is the San Simeon Hotel. That's a solid 2 miles north.
There are an awful lot of places to dive there that I have never yet explored, and I have been diving the PCC's for 17 years now. (Have missed a couple, but my first was 1996.) I still do not know 1/10th of the area.

Can't wait; this is always one of the best meets to dive in.

Sounds great, just figured you may get a lot of "Southern" folks who will not be familiar with most of the landmarks.
