Cress Street

Experience one of the finest diving spots in Laguna Beach, United States. This dive offers easy entry, but it's important to note that you must enter and exit either to the north or south of the houses you see on your left as you descend the stairs. Failing to do so may lead you to a shallow reef.

As a protected marine area, it is strictly prohibited to remove any shells or wildlife from the ocean within the city limits of Laguna Beach. However, you'll have the opportunity to encounter an abundance of sea lions, lobsters, and various species of fish during your dive.

Between Cress Street and Brooks Street, towards the south, lies one of the most remarkable breeding grounds for soupfin sharks. Their mating season typically occurs between January and June, primarily near Halfway Rock - the large rock directly in front of Brooks Street. As you swim towards the boil just beyond Halfway Rock, you'll descend into approximately 5 meters of water. If you venture to the outer side of the reef, you'll discover a breathtaking wall that descends to 20 meters before reaching the sandy bottom.

With a visibility of 7 meters and a maximum depth of 9 meters, this dive site is suitable for divers of all levels, making it an ideal choice for beginners. The close location to 1295 Ocean Front, Laguna Beach, Orange County, California, 92651, United States allows for easy access to this captivating underwater adventure.
