San Diego in May
Anybody done any diving in or close to San Diego and have any dive site recommendations?

If you can, go out on a charter with Water Horse Charters. They are great!
If you want to do shore diving, go up to La Jolla and do La Jolla Shores or the Marine Room. You can check with OEX dive shop for info.

I can't say enough good things about Waterhorse Charters! We spent 3 days with them in January and I would book them again in a heartbeat.

Re: San Diego in May
funkydiver and I will be diving LaJolla shores first week in April. I can let ya know how it goes....we will be diving Catalina on the weekend. But our diving in San Diego is mid week and so we won't be able to get out on a charter since they don't run mid week during this time...

La joya Cove is my favorit shore dive thier, the stairs suck but getting in and out of the water is much eaiser (no surf) and it is rock not sand.
The caves are just to the right from the cove.
Children's Pool (aka children's beach) is also a great place to get in at.
La Joya Shores is a big beach and a surf entry but their is a leopard shark colony their that is very cool to check out. That is about it.
If you have a scooter the kelp beds and trench are absolutely killer dives from the cove and children's, watch out you may drag a large friend back with you. I had a huge tiger shark follow me back the last time I ran out to the trench. the Life guards were circling above with a boat to keep it corralled and away from the swimmers doing the buoy courses. He was just checking me out I guess. I never saw it just heard about it from the LG's when I got back to the cove :geek: .
I dive off the Marissa when I am down their, it is owned by friends of mine and is the only boat that regularly does the offshore wrecks both recreational and technical dives. It is a fast boat with a great crew.

i love diving down thier but vis ussally suck untill you get down below 30' just a heads up.
Their is not a lot of shore diving down their due to access most of it has to be boat dove.
