SDTechDiving

This dive spot is accessible as a shore dive. This is part of the peninsula which starts on the southern most part of the East (a.k.a., Main) Wall right before the South Wall. This peninsula, when followed westward will lead to some rocky structures, including some walls in the 5-30 foot range. At the base of these walls is a ledge which extends 10-20 feet into the canyon, followed by a drop-off. The structure varies depending on where you explore, and there are similar structures deeper in the canyon including 'soft' sandstone formations which leave cascading white sand stone trails down the canyon slopes. If you continue to the end of the peninsula you will reach a point, with a ridge which continues into the depths in a westward direction. Going around the point will lead you east, back towards shore before the canyon slopes begin their westward direction again as the South Wall. There is not a lot of life on these walls, although there are several species of Rockfish present. On one of the walls we have observed a single Metridium.

The pictures presented on the right were taken on July 2005; the scope and perspective of the site is difficult to capture in a photograph, but these pictures do show some of the interesting structures and caves which exist at this spot.
