##Specific Directions
- Locations of activities can change based on wind, waves and tide. Our priority is taking you to the best spot possible for that day. Some flexibility around meeting location may be required, and we will always reach out with more information the night before your expedition begins.
##Parking
-We initially meet at the dive shop where parking is normally not an issue. From here your guide will decide what beach to go to based on current ocean conditions. Parking at some of these beaches may require patience and a short walk (especially on weekends). Your guide will provide all the specific details after you've been fitted for rental gear.

If we’re really lucky whales and dolphins can come close to shore and make appearances too. We will do our very best to take you to the spots where encounters with these animals are most likely to occur!
