Attractions in San Diego for the eyes of divers
In the southern United States is beautiful San Diego, California – my hometown and a playground for all water sports, skiing, sailing and surfing to fishing, snorkeling and diving.
As a diver, you will find a variety interesting marine life ruined Alley in kelp forests and several in the huge underwater park in La Jolla.
The park combines La Jolla Submarine Canyon and Scripps Canyon, an underwater treasure of marine life, including some of the more bizarre creatures among us.
The valley of this gigantic system canyon is 1600 feet deep. Its high walls rise into two branches just made for easy access to diving from either the beach cove La Jolla and La Jolla Shores.
Side of La Jolla Shores can begin at the foot of the street Valicitos and swim to the buoys that mark the highest parts of the barrel. Better to be very good at swimming in the waves. Otherwise it can take a dive boat to the letter of Mission Bay.
In time, it dropped to approximately 30 feet of you being on the edge of Scripps Canyon and the steep walls narrow sinking ever deeper into the abyss. Be very careful here because the deadline is almost vertical in places, often with protruding walls.
Visibility is good, but variable due outcrops and occasional strong currents. winter, water temperatures in the 50s, the water is high in summer high of 60 and 70 times lower.
Divers and scientists have made the La Jolla and Scripps Canyons of one of the most studied environments underwater worldwide. You can see the prestigious Scripps Institution of Oceanography and the spring from any point along the coast of La Jolla. Valley Fan Jolla Canyon was the site of the first deep sea drilling, where core samples were collected from thousands of feet below the bottom Marine in 1961.
15 minutes south of La Jolla is Wreck Alley, about a mile from Mission Beach. Here you can explore artificial reefs created by eight ships cast and a pair of structures is unlikely to be achieved by both accident and intent.
The latest addition is the 366-foot Canadian destroyer Yukon, which was intentionally sunk here in about 100 feet of water in 2000. The Yukon still has years to go before it can compete with their older colleagues as a leader in the density of the population covered.
The Ruby E, a 170-foot Coast Guard at rest in 70 feet of water, was covered from stem to stern with bright colors Corynactis Californica anemones only a few years ago. But being one of the finest diving eyes "has as much traffic as the diving portion of life has disappeared. However, they can still move in the wheelhouse and be absolutely amazed by thick in a beautiful palette. Remember to bring a light.
Then there are the royal court of algae and several wrecks smaller, all with a much higher growth than others due to scuba diving in light traffic.
Now if you want to feel as if you were on a road under water, do not miss the Ingraham Street Bridge 60 meters deep. Has been demolished and dumped here in the 50 or 60 to make way for a new bridge in Mission Bay Aquatic Park. Now, nearly 50 years housing has become more of a natural reef with growth abundant algae, fans and colonies of algae, filter feeders and large marine life comes to bite.
Finally, it NOSCAR Torre, thanks to a wave 20 foot struck a mortal blow in the darkness of a winter night in 1988. For three decades NOSCAR Tower served as a platform for research Mission Beach for the Naval Electronics Laboratory and the Naval Ocean Systems Center. It is now a mass of twisted steel covered with anemones, mussels and star for fabulous scuba diving in a world of amazing colors. Bring a light show and a sharp knife to the line Fishing and the rope that is likely to find.
Bring your camera, of course, for a great photo dive. The average visibility of 15 to 25 feet and by the way, hunting is not welcome here.
