Hi everyone! I've read that there are a number of underwater towns in Northern California (and California as a whole), but that the running theme is that the towns were bulldozed first so there isn't much left but cement slabs and piles of rubble. Any advice as to any that are actually still-standing with buildings and a 'town' appearance? Maximum depth would be about 100 feet, preferably less. This can include all of California if need be, as we'll be traveling and diving the West coast from southern California up through B.C. The timing of year would be early May or so.
On a related note, if no luck with an underwater town, can anyone offer advice to a similar 'unique' dives in (Northern but not necessarily) California... not looking for artificial reefs and standard fishlife for a casual afternoon dive, or the more popular kelp beds and Channel Island activities (which we'll be doing as well), but rather something that is unique and can take sizable effort and logistical planning as long as the reward is significant and very interesting.
Thank you for the local insights, it is appreciated! I hope you guys are having a lovely warm day in California while here in Toronto we have -8 fahrenheit winter winds! ; )
Cheers, Ryan.
