Lost City

Depth: 45' - 55'

Overview

This rocky reef resembles a miniature city. One of the few sites that recovered from the El Nino, and so has a bit of a kelp forest. It also sports a fun swim-through that pops up about 10' off the sand and attracts several species of schooling fish. The modest depth means longer dive times. A beautiful and fun addition to our dive day!

What to See

Blacksmith, senorita and halfmoon schooling at the swim-through. Lobsters in the crevices, sea stars on the rock, and nudibranchs through the outcrops.

Typical Conditions

Open Water+. Longer dive times at modest depth. Water 50-52F.

History

One of the few Point Loma sites that came back after the El Nino kelp die-off.
