Where this dive shop may take you
Dive sites around San Diego
Mission Bay
United States
Mission Bay is not the most desirable dive spot but is a great back-up location, especially for open water classes, for when the ocean swell is too high for diving. The bay is protected so the water is always calm but visibility is not great and there is not too much to see.
Nearby
2.5 km away. This shop may organize trips here.
HMCS Yukon (Wreck)
United States
The Yukon lives in an area known as ’Wreck Alley’ and is San Diego’s most popular wreck dive and one of the largest wrecks in all of California at 366 feet long! Sitting just off Mission Bay, the Yukon is an advanced dive as it sits in 100 plus feet of water.
Nearby
4.5 km away. This shop may organize trips here.
Ruby E (Wreck)
United States
The wreck of the Ruby E is part of San Diego’s famous ’Wreck Alley.’ Sitting just offshore from Mission Bay, the Ruby E is accessible only by boat and sits in deeper water, therefore is recommended for advanced divers only.
Nearby
7.6 km away. This shop may organize trips here.
La Jolla Cove
United States
Just around the corner from one of Southern California’s most popular dive sites, La Jolla Shores, sits La Jolla Cove, the playground for a resident group of sea lions. This site is rockier and has kelp so it’s much different than its La Jolla Shores neighbor.
Nearby
10.0 km away. This shop may organize trips here.
The Marine Room
United States
Entry: use the alleyway next to The Marine Room Restaurant. Careful during higher tide as the water will wash on to steps. Sandy bottom, stays 3-5 meters for at least 100m out from shore.
Nearby
10.2 km away. This shop may organize trips here.
La Jolla Shores
United States
La Jolla Shores is the most popular dive site in San Diego county. Accessible from Kellogg Park, “The Shores“ is an easy beach entry unless the surf is high, then only those experienced in high surf entries should dive.
Nearby
10.5 km away. This shop may organize trips here.
