About this site
A shallow, easy dive along a rocky breakwall in Santa Monica Bay. Abundant marine life thrives here—giant black sea bass, colorful garibaldi, and playful harbor seals often visit. The structure creates a sheltered environment, ideal for beginners or night dives. Expect sandy patches mixed with kelp and rocky reefs. Visibility varies but usually decent. Gentle currents make it a relaxed dive. Perfect for macro photography with nudibranchs and octopus sightings common. Close to shore, making it a convenient choice for quick dives.
