About the boat
The Lois Ann has been serving divers in San Diego since 1990. First owned by Larry and Lois Cochrane, she was sold in 2000 to long time crew member Randy Rice and his wife Cheri.
49` long the Lois Ann can accommodate 20 divers/passengers. She has 2 crew members on board at all times; a captain and mate/DM. 80 cuft. aluminum tanks and weights are complimentary and on board already for your convenience. We also provide weights and belts for those that would like to leave their own behind. There are some soft weights, but predominately hard weights are available.
We also provide air fills, sodas and drinking water, as well as snacks and meals on our trips. Food provided is determined by time of day you are on board. In a nutshell: we feed you after every dive on all trips, and even include breakfast before the first dive when going to the Coronado`s.
There is a large 55 gallon rinse bucket on deck for cameras, lights and masks. No defog in the bucket please. There is a small shower head on the deck as well as a full head below with marine toilet and shower.
The galley area on the boat is for dry items and persons only. We do not allow divers in wetsuits below decks once you;ve been in the water, with the exception of the bathroom.
Location description: Mission Bay is located North of Downtown San Diego and South of La Jolla
Wreck Alley is an artificial reef within one mile of the San Diego coast. The San Diego Dive Boat Operators and the San Diego Oceans Foundation keep the sites buoyed so divers have descent/ascent lines to easily find the wrecks and also to use for their safety stops after their dive.
Kelp Beds... a must for divers visiting San Diego. With annual temperatures averaging 60 degrees, the kelp is very healthy and supports an enormous amount of plant and fish life. Swimming through a kelp bed feels like flying through a forest among the tall stalks reaching the surface in depths of 20 - 70 feet. The rock reefs where the kelp attaches are filled with interesting life in all their crevices - from many species of nudibranch`s to families of California spiny lobsters who stay just beyond arms length of the hunters. Within the kelp beds are many excellent dive sites;
Then there is New Hope Rock in 40 feet. up to as shallow as 25 feet. and loaded with large and small critters, eels, octopus, lobsters, scallops, fish and of course lots of kelp.
The Coronado Islands in Mexican waters are another nice dive destination. They are just 20 miles from our dock which is only a 1-1/2 hour boat ride to a full day of diving in blue water with visibility averaging 50 feet. The island group consists of two main islands referred to as North and South Island. Even though North Island is the smaller of the two, it has the better dive sites. On the leeward side is Lobster Shack, a small cove where 20 years ago a Mexican fisherman built and lived in a shack on the rocks just above the cove. Depths range from 10 to 65 feet. A few harbor seals call this cove home year-round while in the winter some 200 sea lions move over from the windward side of the island and often will leave the shore to play with the divers. Farther down the island toward the southern tip is The Arch, an arch that divers can swim through to the windward side of the island. But this is only possible on days when the waves are small. Depths here range from 10 to 130 feet.
