A lesser known dive spot just to the South of La Jolla Shores is the Marine Room, named after the adjacent restaurant.  This site provides better access to the Northern reef area.

11 miles North of San Diego, take the Ardath Road exit to the West.  In 1.4 miles bear left on Torrey Pines Road.  In 0.3 mile, turn right on St. Louise Ter. Turn right on Spindrift Drive, and look for the Marine Room on your left.

Marine Room

We saw leopard sharks and a horn shark because it is the season for pregnant ones to come in close to shore. There were big school of fish, eagle ray, a bat ray and a sting ray. Nine foot leopard sharks were feeding on a bait ball of sardines. We stuck to the sandy bottom area. We recommend snorkeling in the late summer.

#2 - Marine Room

Diving Mecca!  If you haven't dived La Jolla Cove, you aren't a California Diver!  Nice park, nice entry, and great diving await you.  The area is protected, so the marine life take pleasure in taunting you.  Drop by a local dive shop and ask about the seasonal conditions.  Swells and rip tides can ruin your day.

11 miles North of San Diego, take the La Jolla Parkway exit to the West.  In 1.4 miles bear left on Torrey Pines Road.  In 0.85 mile, turn right on Prospect Place.  In 0.2 miles, bear left onto Prospect Street; in .35 miles turn right onto Jenner Street; then right onto Coast Blvd.  You can't miss it.

La Jolla Cove

Had to drive around for 20 minutes for parking. Easy access to the cove. We saw lots of Giribaldis, a school of fish and Calico bass. Loved it! Highly recommended for snorkeling.
