La Jolla Cove
La Jolla Cove is a beautiful rocky reef that is home to the colorful fish of California, including the State Fish: the Garibaldi. The Cove is also home to seals and sea lions that enjoy basking on the rocks nearby in between dips in the water. The Cove dive site is great for beginners and anyone who wants to see seals and sea lions. Since they are accustomed to divers going through the area, the seals and sea lions will often come up to play around and do some flips to see if they can entice divers into a game!
