My dive buddy just picked up a ridged inflatable boat and we are looking for sites to take her out to in LA and Orange County's. I have some sites in San Diego County with GPS coordinates and am looking for some similar information up north. Thanks for the help.

Brian,
We used to dive the wreck of the Star of Scotland which is about a mile in front of the Santa Monica Pier. You can launch from the ramps at Marina del Rey and it is about a 15-20 minute scenic ride to the Star.
Check your local marinas and dive shops. Both should have some charts or books with GPS locations of the known wrecks/reefs in the area. I have some books by Garry Gentile that has that information about New Jersey, so there should be similar books about the waters off California. Just remember, many of the places you want to dive are also the places folks want to fish so divers are not your only source of information.Quote:

I've always gone out of MDR or Cabrillo.
Thanks for the information. I'll have to give the wreck a try.
