For a dive that’s easy to access, La Jolla Cove is a can’t miss. Just behind the seaside Village, steps are leading into the Pacific Ocean showcasing the underwater world.

We are scheduled to do three dives from the Lois Ann (one night dive and two day dives). Kelp Beds a must for divers visiting San Diego. With annual temperatures averaging 60 degrees, the kelp is very healthy and supports an enormous amount of plant and fish life. Swimming through a kelp bed feels like flying through a forest among the tall stalks reaching the surface in depths of 20 - 70 feet. The rock reefs where the kelp attaches are filled with interesting life in all their crevices - from many species of nudibranch's to families of California spiny lobsters who stay just beyond arms length of the hunters. Within the kelp beds are many excellent dive sites;

La Jolla Cove is an ecological preserve, which means no harm can be done to any plant or animal within it. The wildlife seems to know this and the Cove is always teeming with marine life.

California has something that no other ocean has to offer: it’s fast growing, abundant kelp forest. Swimming through the kelp forest is often compared to hiking through Yosemite National Park.

Marine life includes sheep-head, halibut, horn shark, lobster and of course California’s state marine fish, the bright orange Garibaldi.

La Jolla is a world famous dive site, provides great surfing, while also offering quiet time under the palm trees for those who prefer a more relaxed vacation. With its coastal location, extraordinary environment and European charm, La Jolla provides the ideal destination for travelers.
