Sanso,

I am traveling most of that week and would not be able to show you around. But the Monterey/Pacific Grove/Carmel area has some of the best diving around and would be worth the effort. Much of the rest of the coast in closer proximity to Santa Clara is exposed, rough, limited access, low visibility, or just sand. You would have to drive a long way to beat Monterey area. Bring a good fitting 7mm suit if you dive more than an hour. There are rental shops too for scuba.
