It would probably suit many So Cal Divers if they artificial reefed the Bottom Scratcher. Then it would really be scratching bottom. The two best So Cal boats are the Great Escape and the Magician. Both charge the same price, but they offer better food and service. On my last dive the Magician Captain asked us where we wanted to dive. That is the first time a skipper had ever asked me where I wanted to go. And I have been on about a dozen local boats over the last few years.
