  Great video and narration, my go to place (Divers Cove) to dive (1973-1990) in So Cal. We would wear our tanks walk up the stairs and go to the old dive shop (Laguna Dive) on PCH get our tanks filled and get a second dive in.

  Is the anchor still there? I dove this recently with a buddy, we found the bouy, but it only had one line on it, and the wall looks less steep than it does in the video, I think im in the right spot and it just changed since this video was made, also havent gone past 100ft yet to check out the rest of it

  We used to do this dive back in the early 90's. It was referred to as the "Banzai Wall" back then. Really cool dive

  Back in the 70s I was in High School and me and my school buddies surfed most of the various beaches in SoCal . We were avid readers of Surfer Magazine , and they frequently featured photos of people surfing La Jolla Shores , Blacks Beach and other nearby surf spots . We all decided that we should go there and check it out . I then came upon an article that said the La Jolla area was a place often frequented by Great White Sharks , which had routinely been caught off of the Scripps pier . It also said there were submarine canyons adjacent to shallow table areas running perpendicular to the beach that GWS use for coming close to shore and darting into the flats to capture prey . That's when I decided not to surf there , much less than night scuba dive there !! 😳😯🤯

  They are there and I often find them while flying my drone in the area but they're generally small so they eat small things like stingrays and they're often times swimming just passed the break among the surfers. By the time they get big enough to eat mammals they head out to deeper water.

  Honestly, some of my most peaceful, restful, enjoyably, days of my life were fishing right there in that cove, one summer about 20 years ago. (Right about where all those hobie cats are parked in your vid.) On weekdays there was almost no crowd. Fun spot because you really needed to know your bait as to what your would catch. Anything dead, like clams, shrimp, squid, would get you a stingray, which were annoying. But using live ghost shrimp was likely for you to catch spotted bay bass, halibut, or Calico bass (aka Kelp bass). The later two, if large enough to be legal, are good eating. And the fish always came in schools. So nothing for hours, then bam, all three to four rods would go off at once. Which is what made it so relaxing, but worth fish, type of place. Great vid! And in case you are wondering, yes, 20 years ago, that was a very common scuba spot then too. They did a lot of training there.
