Mission Bay

Mission Bay is a convenient alternative dive location for divers, particularly for open water classes, when the ocean swell is too intense. Although the bay itself may not be the most exciting dive spot, it provides a protected environment with calm waters that are ideal for beginners. While visibility may not be optimal and there may not be a wide variety of marine life, divers can still encounter sea bass, sculpin, stingrays, and various fascinating creatures such as octopuses, lobsters, crabs, sea hares, smaller fish, and whelks among the rocks of the jetties. With a maximum depth of 8m and visibility typically around 3m, Mission Bay is a suitable choice for those looking for a manageable and educational diving experience. Located in the United States, specifically in the picturesque area of Bayside Walk, Crown Point, Pacific Beach, San Diego, San Diego County, California, 921009, divers can easily access this site.
