Why dive here
Torqua Springs is a dive in California, United States. Water ranges 14-21°C, warmest July, August, September.
Torqua Springs offers an unusual dive, a freshwater spring bubbling up from the seafloor. It's a surreal experience, watching the thermocline shimmer where the cold freshwater meets the ocean. You'll find it around 15-20 meters, best explored by divers who appreciate unique geological features more than abundant reef life. Visibility can vary, but on a good day, it’s a memorable spot for something a little different.
