Breakwater Cove is another popular dive site.  Parking can be limited, so get there early.  This is a wonderful place to get a glimpse of sea lions, octopus, and other marine creatures.  The best diving is on the outer side of breakwater.  Beware of kelp and boats!

In Monterey, heading West on Del Monte, bear right onto Lighthouse Ave, then bear right onto Foam St.  Make a right onto Cannery Row.

Breakwater Cove

Good beginning dive site.  Average viz of 20 ft in the spring and fall, falling to closer to 5 or 10 ft in the summer.  Max depth of 30 ft.  Reef with kelp on the left side of the dive site with a breakwater structure along the right side.  Chance to see California Sea Lions, Pacific Octopus, Lingcod, various flatfishes, and lots of inverts like starfishes and crabs.
