That’s not entirely true. Read up on it again. More carefully.

PADI decompression time starts at 30 min, however; they should have performed the required safety stop

20 feet.

I dove it last Wednesday. Excellent dive. very large and parts still semi intact after all these years. Morays have taken residence too. It can be about 110 ft at deepest but most is 95ish.. Its between 2nd and 3rd large buoy from the edge of Dive Park, out in front of Descanso as seen in this video. Call the Avalon Harbormaster...fill out short form..they did not give me any problem whatsoever...it has directions to wreck on it and also the Dive shop guys will help too. Go on weekday to get Ok and avoid boat traffic which imho is #1 concern. Depth, air and decompression also could be an issue. I use 100cu ft and pony. Nitrox with 100cu ft would have been even better. btw...Giant Sea Bass congregating at Dive Park right now approx 20+.

Paul Golonski thanks for the details and specifics...I look forward to seeing the Valiant soon...

Gregory Lambert navigation on the surface to the wreck. Don t swim along the bottom at depth burning up air and pushing your bottom time past non decompression limits. Do a safety stop at 15 feet as a precaution. Pat Fealy LA County / NAUI underwater instructor.

I"m just seeing your comment 2 months later. During the year the water temp will range from the high 50's to mid 60's. I had logged a water temperature of 61 degrees that day.

+Brooke Schulte. Hi, thank you for your question. The depth at this location averages about 35-40 ft depending on the tide. Yes, this is an awesome place to dive. It's is a great location because of the variety of fish that frequent this reef. Outside of the typical Garibaldi and Sheephead, we've also recently seen schools of yellow tail jack, pacific barracuda. Late November, a grey whaled had passed while we were in the water. Unfortunately, I didn't catch that on video. The sea lions like to hang out on seal rock. They're curious and like to interact with the divers. This video was taken in late 2013 when there was still a lot of kelp in the area. The kelp is gone for now from the warmer el nino waters and storms from last year. So the ecosystem is a different than what it was in my 2013 video. Typical visibility at Crescent Bay is 15-20ft. This happened to be a 40ft visibility day when there was very little water movement for a time usually around the Nov-Dec timeframe.

+Jay Atienza Wow! Thank you! I'm aware that harmless leopard sharks can be spotted in that area sometimes however I was also wondering if the presence of Sea Lions attracted bigger sharks?

+TheMermaidtetra The only shark species I've run into there are horn sharks, leopard sharks, and an occasional swell sharks. I haven't seen or heard any reports of bigger sharks at Crescent Bay. BTW...Cool mermaid videos! :)

Thanks Kristian. I'll check 'em out!

The Garibaldi are always present. But, are a variety of fish that appear at Crescent Bay. I have another video where I saw a school of Sargo just above the reef. Here's the link Scuba Diving Crescent Bay, Laguna Beach 11 Jan 2014

Hi. I use an Isaw A3 Extreme. It has an aqua mode that color corrects for underwater shooting. No red filter needed. My light isn't anything special. I just use an older Princeton Tec shockwave that I'd like to upgrade one day.

Jay Atienza Jay, thanks so much. We use a Princeton Tec and UK Cannon as primaries, along with an Intova camera. Just wondering how one might mount the camera to that particular light.

I use one of the sticky mounts on top of my light to mount my camera. My buddy in the video mounts his the same way for his gopro. I like it because it's a one handed setup. I need a way to diffuse the light to reduce the hotspots. Otherwise it works for now.

Thanks! During the November- December months there is very little surge. Around this time the swells are roughly 1-2 ft. With very little movement in the water you may find visibility around 30-40 ft. The typical visibility during the rest of the year ranges from 10-20 ft.
