You are correct about the surf perch, they are everywhere! But garibaldi are observed from Monterey bay all they way down to northern Baja California. We just saw some big ole boys down by San Onofre. At least 20inchs

@@scubascrubs That is good to hear, they're swimming gems.

thanks! all free on youtube music

@@BoatsCop shore to max depth of 30 feet. Really shallow for scuba diving. 🤿

@@MrMeijet there is a gap between the two conservation areas where fishing is legal, children’s pool sits smack dab in the middle of it

That’s too funny! Both free diving and scuba have their pros and cons. Free diving you guys have the element of surprise but have to hold your breath. Scuba it’s the opposite, quite hard to get big fish to get close enough to spear. We will start free diving soon for sure 🤙

We forgot to add the images to the video! They are in our instagram if you’re truly curious :)

We know right? it’s super hit and miss. If the waves are too big we go to the marine room. We have learned our lesson diving here though, it has to be this flat and near low tide to scuba dive safely otherwise there is a pretty rough current that pulls directly away from the entrance and the surge at high tide can be intense

We use a video to mp3 converter to get songs. As long as we don’t make money or get a warning from TH-cam, we will use the music we find fitting. :)

@@scubascrubs I just love that! I don't make money either and would love to put better music on my vids. Ive gotten a copyright thing but it said it was ok despite the copyright mention. I am guessing there is a harsher degree I have not see. See you in the water!

We are not sure on this day, maybe hunting? On our latest trip to children’s pool, (Video coming out Friday), there were plenty of seals! Stay tuned!

Thank you very much! Glad you like it!

Thank you!

Just north of Dana point is a great place to go diving as well!

I’ve been there. Multiple times!

It’s probably gonna molt soon

Exactly our thoughts! It’s amazing how tall the kelp grows!

Thanks!

The color orange is associated with gold and the gold rush that took place in Californias early history not sure if/why the flower is protected but that’s why they like the color.

@razorramon3256 We see people fish there all the time when it’s low surf. There is quite a bit of life under the water but it depends on what you’re trying to get. I’d say great place for kelp bass and opal eye for sure. If you can cast far you might be able to find yourself a halibut or yellow tail as we’ve seen both northwest of the wall

They are trying to swim away but they are hiding under a rock. So they just kids sit there flopping around. It’s quite funny.

As shore divers, we whole heartily agree. The divers before us saw some adult giant sea bass so it’s hit and miss just like any dive spot. Hope you had as much fun as we did!

Thanks for reaching out! We appreciate the comment, the music is free from TH-cam and it wouldn’t be our first choice either but we work with what we have. :) We will try to get better music for future videos. Thanks again!

Agreed

We used 7mm wet suits that day on two consecutive dives for about 2hours total. You’ll definitely want to bring something to warm up in between and after dives, but in the summer you can warm up in the sun pretty quick. Thanks for watching! We appreciate your comment!

Thanks! These are somewhat thick wet suits at 7/5 but they make thinner ones for warmer water. Some people don’t like wearing hoods, but we feel it’s vital for longer dives. Even with the thick wetsuits we were only able to manage 2 consecutive dives at Catalina before having to warm up for a few hours.

@@scubascrubs ahh I see, that's interesting. Were you able to breathe well in the 7/5 suit and was your hood too tight?

@@jordanboo3164 A wetsuit feels like a tight hug. The wetsuit doesn’t restricts breathing but if you over inflate your BCD (vest), it can make it difficult to take deep breaths for sure.

@@scubascrubs oh wow! 😲 It will be nice to wear a wetsuit honestly because it protects you from head to toe hehe. Especially the hood makes you look cute plus shrinks your head too 😜

@@scubascrubs may I know the brand of the wetsuit you're wearing? Would love to check it out

I ended up switching to a break tip because 3 prong are only good for small fish I appreciate your comment though!

@surf_n_snow Also please share what else not to do, as we’ve never gone out with other people… I just decided to start spearing because we lobster dive and there were fish around. (:

@@scubascrubs certainly! I’m a local Spearo of this spot and those of us that spear this area are just protective of it. Hunting underwater with oxygen takes a lot of the skill out of it and will rub spearOs the wrong way. This is because we spend a lot of time working on our breath hold and Free dive abilities in order to go into an completely hostile environment for a human and be able to stay calm and use proper technique in order to successfully target specific species and provide food in a more sustainable way than traditional fishing. Not everyone can do it. And that’s what makes it special. So when you ad scuba to the equation it’s undermines that hard work we put in to be able to hunt underwater. It is generally viewed as unsportly (although technically legal). There are exceptions to this like if you are targeting invasive species or sea urchin or very very deep species. But if you are spear fishing anywhere near the La Jolla cove there’s almost no reason to need scuba. Just work in that breath hold🤙🏼.

💯

Exactly! Bubble blowers loll

We will have to try that out next time we are there!

Me too! It was unfortunately in a protected area and we weren’t allowed to take it. :( beautiful to watch though!

Thanks! We do what we can with the free music provided by TH-cam. :)
