Freshwater dive site perfect for beginning divers and training dives. One of the most popular dive sites in Lake Pleasant. This is also a great snorkeling site. The water is always calm at this dive site.
Vista Point is a shore dive that is great for both recreational and technical divers. Visibility is generally best during the cooler times of the year. During the summer, it is a longer walk/hike to the water’s edge. The best time during the day is in the morning.
Corona del Mar State Beach is a great local beginner dive. Enter and exit at lifeguard tower 5 only. This is a City of Newport Beach requirement. Kick out to the first buoy in front of tower 5. This will be about 100m out. Descend and follow the reef towards the east.
Just off the shore at an old quarry site where the materials to build Long Beach Harbor were mined. This location can have strong currents, but offers both shallow and deep water exploration. This location is reachable by boat only.
Isthmus Reef is a popular dive site on Catalina Island reachable only by boat. It’s a great site for open water students and newer divers due to its sheltered location and shallow depth.
One of the best dive sites on Catalina Island, Bird Rock varies from shallow rocks to steep drop-offs and a beautiful arch. The shallow rocky area is great for snorkeling and the entire site is great for new to advanced divers. The water is nearly always clear, calm and generally without current.
Eagle Reef is a large rocky structure teaming with life. This is an awesome kelp dive; Catalina Island at it’s finest. This site is only reachable by boat, either private or dive charter. Plan to dive in the morning before winds have a chance to kick up and watch for possible strong currents.
Not to be confused with its close, more popular neighbor Eagle Reef, Lulu Reef is a series of three rock pinnacles inside Eagle Reef on the mainland of Catalina Island’s west end. Since it is a bit off shore it’s best reached by boat.
