Depending upon the weather window we try to dive the Cortes Bank early in the trip and finish up the trip at either San Clemente or Catalina Island.
There are no night dives offered at Cortes Banks.
Transit from island to island or bank typically occurs during the night. On the final day of diving, three dives are planned and the dive times and meals are moved 45 minutes earlier.
