Day trip to Catalina

Hi,

my husband and i are hoping to take a day trip to Catalina in July this year. We want to catch the 9.30am Catalina express to Avalon. Then we thought we would hire some snorkelling gear and snorkel around Lovers Cove. We then might have lunch and look around the shops and return to Long Beach around 4pm. We want to see the Queen Mary at Long Beach and then off to LAX at 6pm for our trip home to Australia. Is this a realistic plan? What are the water temps like in mid July? Would we need wet suits as well to snorkel?

Thanks for your help!

Doable??? it dependis on when your flight is and when the express returns. If your flight leaves at 6p.m not doable as it takes 2 hours to clear customes. However, if you%26#39;re saying your flight is after 8 p.m. then doable.
