Monterey Bay
All of Monterey Bay is considered a marine sanctuary and attracts thousands of divers every year from all over the world. Dive sites are scattered all along the bay with plenty of easy entry sites for newer divers and deeper water close to shore for more experienced divers.
The nutrient-rich waters bring in a vast array of wildlife like sea lions, seals, sea otters, all sorts of kelpfish, urchins, huge starfish, anemones galore, and more!
