La Jolla Shores is located in beautiful La Jolla, California. This beach is a popular destination for tourists, surfers and divers.
Two main features of this beach make it one the most frequented dive locations in San Diego. The facilities, generally good conditions and relatively easy surf entries make the Shores a good spot for diver training. For advanced divers, there is easy access to the La Jolla submarine canyon.
The conditions are usually good, with relatively small surf and often favorable visibility. The bottom composition is mostly sand.

The Marine Room is a shore diving spot located in the La Jolla Shores area of La Jolla California. The Marine Room boasts a lot of neat shallow reef diving, and conditions similar to La Jolla Shores area- relatively small waves, good visibility and less surge This site tends to be less-traveled by divers than the Shores and Cove, presumably because parking is not as convenient and there are no public facilities nearby.
The Marine Room is best known as a good place to see leopard sharks in the early summer months. There is easy access to the Northern section of the shallow reef system that extends southward to the La Jolla Cove. Divers also use this location as an entry point to the La Jolla Submarine Canyon.

Ruby E. is a very popular San Diego wreck that is frequented by local diving charters, often part of a local trip to "Wreck Alley". The ship lies upright in about 80 feet of water less than two miles off the coast of Mission Beach. The Ruby is part of the 200-acre Mission Beach artificial reef. Her position is marked by yellow Department of Fish & Game buoy.
Widely-known for the invertebrate life, this wreck is a 165-foot-long haven for macro photographers when the conditions are favorable. Wreck divers will find several access points in the deck and hull; the boat was prepared for divers before sinking. One popular plan is a visit to the large twin diesels in the engine room. The Ruby is a former Coast Guard Cutter, and was at one time equipped with several guns, but unfortunately she no longer carries them.

HMCS Yukon is a Canadian destroyer that was intentionally sunk as an artificial reef in July of 2000. The vessel now rests in the Pacific Ocean less than two miles off the coast of San Diego California. She lies in approximately100' of water. Most areas of the ship are well within the reach of recreational divers.
Since her sinking in 2000, the Yukon has become one of the main local attractions in San Diego for scuba divers.
