The list below will link you to threads with information about dive sites and areas in Southern California from the San Luis Obispo/Monterey County Line to the Mexican Border.
These threads are meant for reference information only. If you have specific questions about any of the listed areas or sites, please start a new thread to ask those questions.

Here are some things to add. Feel free to add things not on this list!
- Commercial dive boats in the area for off shore diving
- Diver friendly accommodations

- Directions to the dive site
- Dive site level of difficulty for access and entry/egress (easy, moderate, difficult, very difficult)
