Giant Kelp Forests:
Glide through the underwater forests of Point Loma and La Jolla in depths ranging from 20 feet to 80 feet. Large rocky reef bottoms make up the home of the California spiny lobster, sea hares, and colorful nudibranchs. Amongst the branches you will find large sheephead, calico bass, and the occasional giant sea bass wandering around inquisitively. Great hunting and photography!
Wreck Alley consists of a group of artificial reefs one mile off the coastline of Pacific Beach:
