This is the one dive that everyone who comes to San Diego must do and I show you my lineups and how I approach this dive.
Max depth: 65'
Average: 42'
Dive Length: 46 min
Min Temp: 60F
Tank: I used a 100 but usually use an 80 for this dive. I usually like to start heading back to shore with about 1300psi in a AL80 and you can start heading to shore whenever you need do. Don't wait for the spot where I usually end my dive If you need to head to shore earlier. You'll have a nice long swim in in shallow water to finish off the dive.
Let me know how the lineups worked for you. Some use a row of trees which is easier to see during the day but impossible when doing night dives, which is why I use the light pole and stop sign.
Here's the dive slate for the site used in the video. Local shops have them too.

I am not an expert or a dive professional. I don't know all the hazards that exist for a particular dive. I create these videos for informational purposes only and you should not use them your sole source of information on this subject. Some of my information may be incorrect. Conditions can change from hour to hour and whats safe at the beginning of your dive may be hazardous when you finish. Talk to lifeguards, use other resources and most importantly, dive within your level of training and your skills/abilities. Just because a dive looks easy doesn't mean it is, or that its even safe. People have lost their lives diving here so make sure diving within your limits.
