Why dive here
Corona Del Mar State Beach is a shore dive in California, United States. Water ranges 14-21°C, warmest July, August, September.
Corona Del Mar State Beach is a reliable choice for a mellow dive, particularly if you’re new to California’s cool water diving. The maximum depth is a shallow 8 metres, making it perfect for longer bottom times and less demanding on air. We usually find giant kelp swaying gently, harbouring garibaldi and rockfish, with the occasional glimpse of a shy octopus tucked into a crevice. Entry and exit are straightforward from the beach, making it a good spot for dive classes or just shaking off some rust.
