Common Spectre trips are as follows

Anacapa Island- is located approximately 14 miles south of Ventura, California. Anacapa consists of 3 smaller islets, East, Middle, and West Anacapa Islands totaling approximately 1 square mile of land and approximately 5 miles in length. Located only a little over one hour from Ventura Harbor this makes for a great short ride to spectacular diving. Anacapa Island boast some of the clearest waters found in the Northern island chain. The highlights of Anacapa include the sea lion rookery the return of the Giant Black Seabass and the incredible kelp forrest. Anacapa is no longer know for game collecting so its primarily a great photo and sightseeing destination.

Santa Cruz- Island is the largest and most topographically diverse of the eight Channel Islands. Santa Cruz Island is approximately 24 miles in length and encompasses 77 miles of pristine coastline. Located just 2 hours from either Ventura or Santa Barbara harbor you will find that this is the most diverse diving islands of the the eight Channel Islands. The front side is riddled with volcanic caves both above and below and offers the scallop gathers a good chance of filling a bag of booty. The backside is a gentle sloping islands that has many large kelp beds and offshore rock formations. This island has something for everyone and is still in what would be considered the warmer water zone.
