I         IMPORTANT INFO IF YOU INTEND TO TAKE GAME                                                  I

There's no question that we're not known as a "hunting" store but we certainly don't ban hunters from our boats. However, we do expect those who hunt to not only to be aware of the DF&G regulations, but to follow them.

Unfortunately there have been instances where people are either ignorant of the regulations or are deliberately flaunting them. And it puts us, and the boats, in a very difficult position since we really don't want to be the Fish Police but, by the same token, if we don't carefully manage our ocean resources, they simply won't be there in the future. The bottom line is that taking game in violation of the DF&G regulations is the textbook definition of poaching.

Accordingly, Reef Seekers has a ZERO TOLERANCE POLICY towards any type of poaching, whether intentional or accidental. If you come up with game that's either out-of-season, short, or over a bag limit, our boat DMs/Instructors are instructed to contact DF&G through the 888/DFG-CALTIP (Californians Turn In Poachers). We will report the offense and request that a DF&G Warden meet us when the boat docks at the end of the day and the poacher can explain why "I didn't know" should be an acceptable answer.

Although this may sound Draconian, the way to avoid this is simple: If you're going to hunt, be 150% certain of what you're taking and that it complies with current regulations. If you don't know what it is, don't take it. The days of someone coming up with a fish on a spear and asking, "Is this good to eat?" should be long gone.

In general, those of you who dive with us who hunt are very responsible and not only follow the regulations but only take what you can eat. However, for the few who choose to be ignorant or simply don't care, that behavior will not be tolerated and you may consider yourselves on notice.

We use the Great Escape for our regular charters, as well as the Catalina Express for our Avalon trips. The Great Escape has a compressor on board, full galley, heads, and bunks. The Great Escape also has staterooms (which is a nice way of saying "bunks with a door"), that afford a bit more privacy. We're happy to be associated with this fine boat and know they will work as hard as we do to get you to the best diving possible.
