Sharks, Crabs and Harbor Seals of La Jolla, San Diego
The awesome ocean life of La Jolla is famous in San Diego. Especially if you snorkel, freedive or scuba dive there. La Jolla Shores from Avenida de la Playa to the Marine Room is known for the numerous Leopard Sharks that visit it for months during the summer. In the shallow knee to waist high water, right off of shore, the Leopard Sharks swim in large circles in huge groups. They are completely peaceful and do not bite people.
Then there are the loud and hyper Sea Lions of La Jolla Cove. They are a sight to see when they are all active, barking up a storm and jumping all around in the water. Especially the pups ! They are fun to watch and be around as they have no fear and will come right up to you out of curiousity and to play. About a mile south of the cove is the Children’s Pool, which is home of numerous plump Harbor Seals. Harbor Seals are very peaceful and unlike the gregarious Sea Lions, Harbor Seals are very shy and cautious. You’ll mostly see them lying around on shore, sun bathing.
Anywhere in La Jolla where there’s rocky reef structures along with under the Scripps Pier, you’ll find lots of California Spiny Lobsters and occasional sheep crabs. They’re usually at the bottom of the pilings or hiding under the rocks. Everywhere you go along shore, you’ll also see lot’s of California Brown Pelicans, either flying by or relaxing along the cliffs, enjoying their ocean views.

Exploring below the surface of Heisler Park, Laguna Beach, California
Adventure Time !
Beautiful Laguna Beach is famous for it’s picturesque beaches and abundant ocean life with clear water. One of my favorite areas to dive is out front of Heisler Park. This entire area is rocky reef with lot’s thriving seaweed and kelp. And lots and lots of fish. As you explore from shallow to deep, the underwater terrain changes along with marinelife you will experience.
In the shallows along shore you’ll be surrounded by sea grass, short kelp, different color algae and lot’s of diverse fish. The further you go out, the kelp gets taller until you end up in the kelp forest. In the kelp forest you’ll find tope sharks and harbor seals patroling around. There is even an underwater arch near shore, surrounded by kelp swaying in the current.

Flat Rock, Palos Verdes, Califorina
The beautiful Palos Verdes Peninsula is packed with amazing ocean views. From above and below the cliffs, you’ll enjoy the ocean and nature experience like no where else. Even more amazing is the thriving kelp forest and ocean life below the surface. The Palos Verdes Peninsula is not known as a popular diving destination, but once you’ve explored it from below, you know you’ve discovered somewhere special.
The kelp forests alone are magestic here. From the moment you get in, you’ll be surrounded by kelp. From the shallow reefs at entrance to as far as you can swim out. The Kelp just keeps getting taller. In some areas, the kelp is so thick, the sunlight barely reaches the bottom. And all through the kelp forests you’ll come across friendly and curious California Harbor Seals. Most keep their distance and will follow and watch you from afar. However, some will swim right up and make contact with you, grabbing onto your fins, camera or goggles.
Along the bottom of the kelp forests you’ll come across Tope Sharks, Horn Sharks and Leopard Sharks. Each very different in appearance and in behavior. Horn Sharks swim awkwardly, short distances and prefer to rest in crevices in the reef or in between seaweed or kelp. Leopard Sharks swim constantly around medium areas occasionally resting along the bottom. Tope Sharks patrol the bottom of the kelp forest and do not like to be approached.
