Awesome video

Thanks! I saw a few people coming out of that area with dive gears and always wondered how it looks like underwater.

Can you spearfish there ?

Really helpful and informative video, thanks so much!

Fished an office chair out of there on a free dive. Fairly easy place to learn.

10/10 video I loved the shots and I really appreciate you drawing out the route on the map and describing how to navigate by what you'll see. Been wanting somebody to do the exact same thing for the beach next door at Shaws cove I haven't been able to find the biggest trench.

I heard it is a great place to teach new swimmers how to swim.

That’s where my buddy and I certified. Did the Montasary Crawl. Visibility that day was 50+ meters

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!

Boundary wall doesn’t exist anymore. Whale must have rubbed itself on the wall and flattened it all out to boring sand. Nothing to see here

Bait

Great video and narration, my go to place (Divers Cove) to dive (1973-1990) in So Cal. We would wear our tanks walk up the stairs and go to the old dive shop (Laguna Dive) on PCH get our tanks filled and get a second dive in.

So... what's the rule with snagging a few of these gorgonians for a saltwater tank at home?.. 😁😏

Random question…how was the cell service? Trying to go on a Friday but need access to my phone in between dives 😁

Is the anchor still there? I dove this recently with a buddy, we found the bouy, but it only had one line on it, and the wall looks less steep than it does in the video, I think im in the right spot and it just changed since this video was made, also havent gone past 100ft yet to check out the rest of it

La Jolla is so beautiful.

I’m looking for a diver to help me recover a fishing pole I dropped off of a dock . Know anyone how can help me ?

I love this dive site. I would also note that it's super important to keep your regs in while getting in and out of the water

We used to do this dive back in the early 90's. It was referred to as the "Banzai Wall" back then. Really cool dive

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 !! 😳😯🤯

Great vid. How is your camera mounted ? Or hand held?

Very cool!

Promo SM

that was an awesome dive video. Mad me smile the whole time.

Sick, kayaking in there is fun as hell , as long as you beat the tide push ha

Awesome clip wow, thing looks ancient

Get rid of those sound effects in the background irritating..ahh

Thank you for the tour and description of the reef. I got to do this dive yesterday and really enjoyed it. Very pretty. Loved the sponges, the wall, the different cuts in the reef and the kelp. My new fave area to explore more often when conditions are good❤

Love this video!

This is cool, where did you find these?

Very nice work here

All good news. What fish is that @4:24?

Can't imagine why you didn't go diving that day! I'm seeing some real laidback entries in this footage. Some of those waves were only 20 footers! 🤣 Great stuff! Hopefully things are a bit calmer down there now.

1/10 video

WOW I like, what drone do you fly because you have audio and my drone atm does not record audio at all some times lame but a nice to have.

yo. useful done, have a good one! 😮

Would be fun as you're diving and see a fisherman's line grab it and run with it And have a friend on the beach record it

Very helpful tour.

I just began reading the book "Whalefall" by Daniel Kraus. The setting is Monestary Beach. I searched KZfaq to get a better idea of the beach and the dangerous dropoff described in the novel. I must say, your video gave me an awesome mental image of it! I actually SAW the dropoff as you were diving. What a strange and beautiful world our oceans are! 🌊🐚🪸🐠

This is a great video. That beach captured my imagination. Thanks.

Clickbait title kinda sucks

Since youre in SD. Last time I snorkled jn the L J cove the red tide was so bad we couldnt see anymore than a foot or two in front in front of us. Nice to see this clip. Have a safe trip back.

Is this a ok place for new divers or should they try somewhere else?

Fantastic dive guides as always SDScuba. I'm up in by Monterey but looking to dive in San Diego sometime, will definitely be following these guides

Bluntnose six gills are such cool sharks to observe

7 gill shark I saw in La Jolla cove

Honestly, some of my most peaceful, restful, enjoyably, days of my life were fishing right there in that cove, one summer about 20 years ago. (Right about where all those hobie cats are parked in your vid.) On weekdays there was almost no crowd. Fun spot because you really needed to know your bait as to what your would catch. Anything dead, like clams, shrimp, squid, would get you a stingray, which were annoying. But using live ghost shrimp was likely for you to catch spotted bay bass, halibut, or Calico bass (aka Kelp bass). The later two, if large enough to be legal, are good eating. And the fish always came in schools. So nothing for hours, then bam, all three to four rods would go off at once. Which is what made it so relaxing, but worth fish, type of place. Great vid! And in case you are wondering, yes, 20 years ago, that was a very common scuba spot then too. They did a lot of training there.

i don't dive but i do hav an affinity for the outdoors/ the ocean is another world! i live right here in sd it was so cool to see this video. Just found ur chnl,,dope content!

A great dive, penetration or not. Currents can be tricky.
