Santa Cruz Island - Restrictions

I am going to Dive Santa Cruz Island this weekend. I have heard there are protected areas. Any hints and a map showing the protected areas.

I think I know a guy with some paper charts, too. He happens to be off Friday Sat.

Re: Santa Cruz Island - Restrictions

Went to Santa Cruz for the first time today. Only for a test run for the new motor. Nice island, a must when the fist come in. Nice easy trip from Oxnard, and lots of locations to dive.

Only dove for 1 hour. Saw a couple legal bugs, at the end of my dive. Vis good on the bottom 15'+, dirty on top.
