Snorkeling and Scuba Diving at Carmel River North
This is the Northern most dive site of the Carmel River State Beach, and is slightly protected from the Northern swells. Watch the current as your round the rocky point.
Carmel Point is located at the Southern end of the Carmel. From Highway 1, take Ocean Ave or 13th Ave toward the sea. Turn left on Scenic Road, and continue to the Southern intersection of Ocean View Ave. You will overlook the beach to your right.

I've dove this location a few times now and have had great dives here every time. Like most dive spots in the area, you've got to be selective! My first experience with this site was what we called 'Tahiti Water' since the viz was insane! The worst part of the entry is the climb back up to your vehicle and I guess the surface swim can be a bit lengthy. Our deepest was around 30' with a sandy/ rocky bottom but I've only done this site near the October months. Although there wasn't much sea life (except a harbor seal) the kelp forests were LUSH!!! http://www.flickr.com/photos/taitano/1105449244/in/set-72157594493930134/
