Why dive here
La Jolla Shores is a dive in California, United States. Water ranges 14-21°C, warmest July, August, September.
La Jolla Shores is a classic San Diego shore dive, perfect for easy entry and longer bottom times. We usually find leopard sharks congregating in the summer, especially in the shallower sandy areas. It's a great spot for beginners to practice navigation and for photographers looking for macro subjects amongst the eelgrass and occasional bat rays. Watch out for strong surge on bigger swell days.
