About this site
This site sits along the Palos Verdes Peninsula in Los Angeles County, California, near the Terranea Resort and the former Marineland of the Pacific park that once operated on the bluffs above. The Palos Verdes shoreline here is known for its rocky coastline and kelp-lined waters along the Pacific. The dive reaches a maximum depth of around 18 metres and is generally rated intermediate, consistent with the reef and kelp terrain typical of this stretch of coast.
