Why dive here
Marineland Reef is a reef dive in California, United States. Water ranges 14-21°C, warmest July, August, September.
Marineland Reef is a solid shore dive, accessible from Palos Verdes. We've found the best entry is at medium tide, making the rock scramble a bit easier. Once you're in, expect to navigate through kelp forests where Garibaldi flash their orange, and occasionally, we've spotted a sleepy horn shark tucked into a crevice. It’s a good spot for a relaxed dive, especially if you're looking to log some local California time without the boat trip.
