Overview
While only remnants of the massive ship remain, she is a spectacular dive. Her ribs and winch are visible, as well as a portion of her stern. The wreck is not the only thing to see at this site though; large 20' boulders house a large variety of nudibranchs.
What to See
Ribs, winch and a portion of the stern. Nudibranchs on the 20' boulders, plus lobsters, large sheepshead, blacksmith, and kelp bass.
Typical Conditions
Intermediate. Water 50-52F; visibility varies.
History
Lazy Daze was a World War I landing craft that, after her service, was parked in the Point Loma Kelp and used as a fishing barge. She was moored there for years until in the 70s she disappeared into the sea after a strong storm. She was dived into the '80s but then was lost until about 2010, when the Crew of the Marissa re-discovered her whereabouts. AUDIT NOTE: this WWI-landing-craft / 1970s-storm-loss / 2010-rediscovery account could not be independently verified against California Wreck Divers, wreckedinmyrevo.com, or newspaper archives - treat as MDC crew lore pending a primary source. Worth noting: firsthand diver write-ups (Michael Bear) describe the visible wreckage as steel, not wood, which is worth reconciling with the WWI framing before this goes on the public site as settled history.
