Ventura area, fairly new OW diver about to take my advance dive class.
Jefe,
Welcome. You're lucky, you're right in line with the good dive sites at Santa Cruz, Santa Rosa and San Miguel.
Pair of divers from Temecula, here.

The problem with having your own boat is you now need a guinea pig to volunteer to stay on it while everyone else gets to play except them!
SCDG, I am with you, give me a drysuit or give me death!
If I were to do a dive in open water or medium to heavy current, I would most definately want someone on the boat. I feel pretty secure leaving the boat alone near shore or in a secured cove. I just dive the anchor line(s) and make sure it's secure. The best way to do it, though, is to have either 3 or 4 divers so 1 or two stay on the boat.
yea if you have 3 divers you can rotate and you each get two dives in with different buddies
