Mission Bay
Southern California, USA
While Mission Bay may not be the top destination for diving, it serves as a reliable alternative, especially for open water training when ocean conditions aren't ideal. The sheltered waters promise a tranquil experience, though visibility can be challenging. Divers can expect to encounter sea bass, sculpins, and stingrays, along with interesting finds like octopuses, lobsters, crabs, and various small fish nestled among the jetty rocks.
