The Liveaboard
www.truthaquatics.com
Truth Aquatics live-aboards are designed by divers for divers.  Their commitment to service shows through the smiles of crewmembers that love their jobs and undergo special safety training.  The Galley women cook up some gourmet cuisine!  We’re on the Conception for this holiday weekend.

The Destination
On the Labor Day trip, divers have the unique opportunity to explore the pinnacles of San Miguel Island.  The beginning of September is the best time to be at San Mig, which see strong winds and swell during much of the year.  This rarely visited island is loaded with color: anemones, crabs, nudibranchs covering every inch of wall with a rainbow.  Great for macro-photography.  Nutrient rich waters bathing this island bring BIG fish: halibut, bugs, redfish, wolfeels, lingcod.  The precipitous geology at Boomerang, Skyscrapers, Richardson’s and Wilson’s Rock will blow you away.  The island also hosts pristine shallow reefs hosting an incredibly diverse collection of sea life.  Night dives are delightful; octopi roam the reefs and bioluminescent zooplankton flash colors to silhouette the diver. Other destinations may include Santa Rosa, Santa Cruz, Anacapa, and Santa Barbara Islands.

We will meet at the Santa Barbara Harbor on Friday night, boarding after 8pm.  Fall asleep with the Conception departing at 4am, Saturday morning. The boat will return on Monday (Labor Day) about 5pm.  The Sea Landing Dive Center is located within steps from the Truth Aquatic vessels for convenient equipment rental.  See more details at “Preparing for your Channel Islands Trip” on our Currents page.
