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.
