Pictures of Diving at La Jolla shores.

Not much life from there.
Looks like you never got to the canyon (it's about 300 yards off shore). Kind of a drag that you were 99% of the way there and never found the dive site (based on your pictures).

Oh I got there.... and nearly stayed there.
There was an odd current that was pulling me down. My dive buddy signaled for us to turn around.
Still, not much life. "Tropical" diving has yet to win me over.
Listen, one dive (or a few) does not make for a well-rounded evaluation of the place. You've heard it from people on here... and there are literally hundreds of dive reports on the web about the amazing life that can be encountered at the Shores. If one chooses to ignore or dismiss the accounts of so many experienced divers, then so be it.
The Shores CAN be an amazing place for encounters. Just last week my partners and I were surprised by a dolphin saying hello to us in 45 fsw, just before the canyon wall. You have to see with better eyes.
Cheers,
Bill

That is true.
I can go anywhere along the shores of British Columbia and I would find tons of life. I was told by a dive shop that the San Diego area, except for La Jolla cove does not have much for diving.
Alas, I'm afraid that a significant portion of the sea life of southern California may have found its way from the tip of my spear into my freezer. Apologies for ruining your holiday.
