The San Diego Oceans Foundation had the HMCS Yukon towed to San Diego for a controlled sinking off Mission Bay. After thorough cleaning, the plan was to use explosives to ensure the ship sank upright. The strategy involved creating holes on both sides of the bow and stern, letting water fill the ship evenly. However, before this plan could be executed, swells during the night allowed water into...

Very diverse sea life, thank you. I’m a newbie paddle board guy, have you seen any sharks on your adventure
cannot believe how picturesque it is under this bridge... been over it a million times
Is this still available for diving? And how far down did u have to swim to see some sea life? I’m just a free diver and I’m not that good either lol…but it looks super cool down there
What thickness of wetsuit do you typically dive in for SD diving?
Awesome video
Thanks! I saw a few people coming out of that area with dive gears and always wondered how it looks like underwater.
Can you spearfish there ?
No, it's a MPA, Marine Protected Area.
Really helpful and informative video, thanks so much!
Fished an office chair out of there on a free dive. Fairly easy place to learn.
10/10 video I loved the shots and I really appreciate you drawing out the route on the map and describing how to navigate by what you'll see. Been wanting somebody to do the exact same thing for the beach next door at Shaws cove I haven't been able to find the biggest trench.

I heard it is a great place to teach new swimmers how to swim.
That’s where my buddy and I certified. Did the Montasary Crawl. Visibility that day was 50+ meters
If you can get in it’s a great dive. My buddy and I swam out around 500’ then dropped down to around 110’ then made our way back in, the bottom has a stair case like rocks around 80’ it looked like the edge of the continental shelf. There’s giant white sea anemones way down there. Stop every 30’ to off gas but slowly make your way along the bottom. Funniest part was swimming out and past a guy fishing in a small boat 😂. Just be careful cuz it can get rough out there. Read the ocean beforehand!
Boundary wall doesn’t exist anymore. Whale must have rubbed itself on the wall and flattened it all out to boring sand. Nothing to see here
Bait
Great video and narration, my go to place (Divers Cove) to dive (1973-1990) in So Cal. We would wear our tanks walk up the stairs and go to the old dive shop (Laguna Dive) on PCH get our tanks filled and get a second dive in.
So... what's the rule with snagging a few of these gorgonians for a saltwater tank at home?.. 😁😏
Marine protected area. Also, you likely aren’t maintaining a cool enough tank, though I don’t know your setup. They like temps in the 50’s and below. Above that they start to cook.
Buy one, this is marine protected area and even if it was not you still cant do that to coral. It took thousands of years for those to be made and so manny people mess it up for everyone else, this spot is so nice because its so far out most people use scooters to reach it. This dive site has a special place in my heart. Please rethink your mindset.
@@justinshepa Too late. I have a team of Nigerians harvesting them for me and my business is already booming.
Random question…how was the cell service? Trying to go on a Friday but need access to my phone in between dives 😁
no service at all
Is the anchor still there? I dove this recently with a buddy, we found the bouy, but it only had one line on it, and the wall looks less steep than it does in the video, I think im in the right spot and it just changed since this video was made, also havent gone past 100ft yet to check out the rest of it
La Jolla is so beautiful.
I’m looking for a diver to help me recover a fishing pole I dropped off of a dock . Know anyone how can help me ?
Sorry I missed this, Hope you were able to get it back.
I love this dive site. I would also note that it's super important to keep your regs in while getting in and out of the water
We used to do this dive back in the early 90's. It was referred to as the "Banzai Wall" back then. Really cool dive
Back in the 70s I was in High School and me and my school buddies surfed most of the various beaches in SoCal . We were avid readers of Surfer Magazine , and they frequently featured photos of people surfing La Jolla Shores , Blacks Beach and other nearby surf spots . We all decided that we should go there and check it out . I then came upon an article that said the La Jolla area was a place often frequented by Great White Sharks , which had routinely been caught off of the Scripps pier . It also said there were submarine canyons adjacent to shallow table areas running perpendicular to the beach that GWS use for coming close to shore and darting into the flats to capture prey . That's when I decided not to surf there , much less than night scuba dive there !! 😳😯🤯
They are there and I often find them while flying my drone in the area but they're generally small so they eat small things like stingrays and they're often times swimming just passed the break among the surfers. By the time they get big enough to eat mammals they head out to deeper water.
Great vid. How is your camera mounted ? Or hand held?
For this video I was using a gopro mounted to a tray, so I'm holding the tray with 2 hands.
Very cool!
Promo SM
that was an awesome dive video. Mad me smile the whole time.
Sick, kayaking in there is fun as hell , as long as you beat the tide push ha
Awesome clip wow, thing looks ancient
Get rid of those sound effects in the background irritating..ahh
Thank you for the tour and description of the reef. I got to do this dive yesterday and really enjoyed it. Very pretty. Loved the sponges, the wall, the different cuts in the reef and the kelp. My new fave area to explore more often when conditions are good❤
Love this video!
Thank you!!
This is cool, where did you find these?
It came from a DVD called Project Yukon produced by the San Diego Oceans Foundation. There's a few more videos and a bunch of pdf documents that came with it that I have looked at yet.
Very nice work here
All good news. What fish is that @4:24?
Almost looks like a Giant Kelp Fish but it's the wrong shape. I'm not sure.
@@SDScubaThanks for the reply. Pretty sure I've seen that in one of my books but haven't been able to find where. My vague impression is that it's one of those obscure weird sculpins. Looking forward to progress reports on the Yukon reef. Should be fun.
Can't imagine why you didn't go diving that day! I'm seeing some real laidback entries in this footage. Some of those waves were only 20 footers! 🤣 Great stuff! Hopefully things are a bit calmer down there now.
Haha, i know huh.
1/10 video
You mean 10/10?
WOW I like, what drone do you fly because you have audio and my drone atm does not record audio at all some times lame but a nice to have.
This was from the DJI Mini 3 Pro but it doesn't record audio either. I downloaded sounds of waves and birds and added it in.
@@SDScuba That thing goes so far! I can't believe you flew it all the way from OB to the cove and handled to wind very well. Might have to get me one
@bloblablah7409 that would be pretty impressive If it went that far but it's not that amazing. I flew the route in multiple segments and combined the footage. I drove up and stopped at a bunch of spots, flew that section and moved onto the next one, then combined them. They're great fun though.
yo. useful done, have a good one! 😮
Would be fun as you're diving and see a fisherman's line grab it and run with it And have a friend on the beach record it
Hahahha, I got a big one boys! I do worry a bit about getting snagged sometimes.
Very helpful tour.
Thank you! this is one of my favorite southern California shore dives!
I just began reading the book "Whalefall" by Daniel Kraus. The setting is Monestary Beach. I searched TH-cam to get a better idea of the beach and the dangerous dropoff described in the novel. I must say, your video gave me an awesome mental image of it! I actually SAW the dropoff as you were diving. What a strange and beautiful world our oceans are! 🌊🐚🪸🐠
4And that drop-off is even worse in bigger surf. I just took a look at the book you mentioned an I'm considering ordering it. Did you enjoy it?
@@SDScuba Oh my goodness...it was a riveting read. I loved it! It sounds like a far-fetched plot, but the author made it very realistic. I highly recommend it. 🙂
This is a great video. That beach captured my imagination. Thanks.
Clickbait title kinda sucks
Since youre in SD. Last time I snorkled jn the L J cove the red tide was so bad we couldnt see anymore than a foot or two in front in front of us. Nice to see this clip. Have a safe trip back.
Thanks! Ya, the red tides can get pretty bad sometimes :(
Is this a ok place for new divers or should they try somewhere else?
Try San Carlos beach in Monterey for beginners
It's generally considered an advanced site. Consider talking to a guide if you'd like to dive it. Maybe dive San Carlos with them first and see what they say. Have fun!!
@@Syk00o01 ya a fun dive for beginners is Monterey to the right of pier 1 straight out in line with the fire station, there’s a submerged military vehicle out there in the sandy flats. 👍
Monterey boat launch near cannery row is best for beginners and a seal rookery. I had about 20 pups all around me, just like puppies. California certifies the safest divers due to conditions, poor visibility and currents mostly.
Fantastic dive guides as always SDScuba. I'm up in by Monterey but looking to dive in San Diego sometime, will definitely be following these guides
Ahh thanks, That's great to hear. I'm up in monetary occasionally but I've only done a couple dives there. A few months back I dove and made a video on the North Monastery dive. I'd like to come back and do a few more for other popular dives there. Maybe you'd be interested in buddying up sometime for that?
Bluntnose six gills are such cool sharks to observe
I love seeing these guys in the water. They look so prehistoric!
@@SDScuba for real Lol looks like they spawned in the wrong time period 😂. Gotta be honest it's one of the few shark species that as a whole are quite curious about us they don't really mind our company at all
7 gill shark I saw in La Jolla cove
