Snorkeling and Scuba Diving at LA - Marineland
Marineland has a lot to offer, but is not known as a producer of many large bugs. There are a few here and there. The landslide caused by the Ocean Trails golf course has temporarily ruined a lot of diving in the area between Abalone Cove and White Point. Try diving here after a few days of Santana winds. The diving from White Point to Pt Fermin is mostly 20-40' with sand, rocks and kelp. Visibility can be good a few days out of the year, but it averages between five feet to fifteen feet most of the time.

Went to Marineland today, gates open between 9 and 4, make sure you are out by 4 or you will be locked in. The walk down the dirt road and entry over the rocks were a little rough, definitely not for the beginner or weak. The best diving is off to the right (north) once in the water and clear of the rocks the diving was great. Visibility was around 25 feet. Lots of fish and plant life, like swimming in an aquarium. Saw a couple small lobster and two big ones but couldn't get my hands on them. Another guy there with a spear gun came back with a nice bag of fish. Nice dive, I will be back again.
