Snorkeling and Scuba Diving at La Jolla Shores
This is the most popular beach in La Jolla. Sunners, surfers, picnickers, divers and dive classes use this area extensively during the weekends. The area is a fantastic underwater park, with fish hanging around for a handout. This can be an easy or a technically-advanced dive, depending upon your skill level.
11 miles North of San Diego, take the Ardath Road exit to the West. In 1.4 miles turn right on La Jolla Shores Drive. Turn left on Avenida De La Playa, and you'll find the park in 1/2 mile.

I believe that this is the best shore dive site for deep water training because people can actually dive deep underwater formations as often as they want, without having to worrying about the cost of boat fees. There are tons of rock piles, steps, and columns in the 180' to 300'(+) range that contain schools of fish and lobster that aren't afraid of their bubble-blowing/wide-eyed friends.
