About this dive site

This dive site, known as The Marine Room, is a shore diving location situated in La Jolla, California. It offers a wealth of shallow reef dives and conditions that closely resemble those found at La Jolla Shores. Expect relatively calm waves, good visibility, and minimal surge. Due to its less frequented nature – stemming from limited parking options and the absence of nearby public facilities – it tends to be quieter than more popular areas like Shores and Cove.
