Wow, I can't believe no one answered your question. Well for future visitors to Monterey, I will give this a shot.
Top of the list would be Pt. Lobos. Get reservations and have a buddy.
Next up for me would be just up the highway 1 (not 101) to Monastery Beach. I recommend a local buddy who knows the spot, we don't call it Mortuary Beach for nothing. I love the north side the most, but south side has just as much to offer. It can get very deep here as this is the beginning of the Monterey Canyon, but I would not recommend any 3000 ft dives
If your logged dives are accurate, hit the Breakwater for some easy diving. Crowded with students on the weekends and also a great night dive spot. Air fills available right here too.
Just up the beach in Cannery Row is another spot called McAbee, further up the road (Ocean View Blvd) is Lovers Pt. In between is 13th street and Coral St. For any of these I recommend a local buddy to show you the ropes - we call it kelp here.
For the best and easiest diving, hook up with one of the local boats running out of the commercial wharf (Municipal Wharf 2 on the map - but what do they know!)
