Large kelp beds mark the submerged reef particularly on the west side of the cove. There may also be some cool scenery on the left side of the cove at the point below the cliffs around the wash rocks (I haven’t tried it myself so post back and let us know if you try it). This site isn’t for the feint of heart due to the walk to get to it but by the same token, it is less trafficked by divers and the protected status is sure to provide a beautiful array of aquatic life.
This site is typically protected in the summer from the southern swell by Catalina Island and is always out of the way from northern swells thus usually provides clear calm water.
