Nothng is recognizable. Entering by the stern would've meant passing by the ship's laundry, tiller flats, my mess (10 mess aft) and other places like store rooms. Glad she's still of use somehow.

I like that you appreciate marinelife and you aren't there to kill it. the oceans need our help. I wish we could turn more dive locations into natural no-take preserves

Love your videos! I have a couple of questions. First, to reach the turtle town area, would you recommend swimming straight out from the Marine Room entry about, say 50-100 yards then turn southwest? Second, to reach the La Jolla Cove kelp forest, would you recommend swimming straight (northeast) before turning due north? Thanks for your kind consideration!

Yes, you can still dive here....You're asking how far down....well you can see stuff all along the supports. You'd have to catch a boat ride out there.

For scuba, minimum 7mm but a lot of people use drysuits. You can get away with a 3mm for snorkeling.

I should get back at it and do Shaws. When you're taking about the trench you're talking about the little crevasses you can enter into from the edge of the reef? There a lot of fun but can end up in white out conditions pretty fast if a swell comes through and fills the area with champagne bubbles.

If you can get in it’s a great dive. My buddy and I swam out around 500’ then dropped down to around 110’ then made our way back in, the bottom has a stair case like rocks around 80’ it looked like the edge of the continental shelf. There’s giant white sea anemones way down there. Stop every 30’ to off gas but slowly make your way along the bottom. Funniest part was swimming out and past a guy fishing in a small boat 😂. Just be careful cuz it can get rough out there. Read the ocean beforehand!

Marine protected area. Also, you likely aren’t maintaining a cool enough tank, though I don’t know your setup. They like temps in the 50’s and below. Above that they start to cook.

Buy one, this is marine protected area and even if it was not you still cant do that to coral. It took thousands of years for those to be made and so manny people mess it up for everyone else, this spot is so nice because its so far out most people use scooters to reach it. This dive site has a special place in my heart. Please rethink your mindset.

Good question, I'd have to pull it out and check. I don't remember it being an issue, or even something I thought about and I'm usually careful with these things, especially after cross threading a screw for the grips on an aluminum Kimber frame. I should have known better than go with aluminum. Sorry for the late reply though. Did you give it a shot?

Back in the 70s I was in High School and me and my school buddies surfed most of the various beaches in SoCal . We were avid readers of Surfer Magazine , and they frequently featured photos of people surfing La Jolla Shores , Blacks Beach and other nearby surf spots . We all decided that we should go there and check it out . I then came upon an article that said the La Jolla area was a place often frequented by Great White Sharks , which had routinely been caught off of the Scripps pier . It also said there were submarine canyons adjacent to shallow table areas running perpendicular to the beach that GWS use for coming close to shore and darting into the flats to capture prey . That's when I decided not to surf there , much less than night scuba dive there !! 😳😯🤯
@SDScuba 5 ай бұрын
They are there and I often find them while flying my drone in the area but they're generally small so they eat small things like stingrays and they're often times swimming just passed the break among the surfers. By the time they get big enough to eat mammals they head out to deeper water.
