We have spent the last 2 months mapping out all the 25+ underwater tunnels, caves and crevices of the La Jolla Cove in San Diego. We are now willing to give tours of this underwater playground that most people never discover! Full wetsuit and gloves are a must. Shoot me a message if you would be interested in this and I'll send you the details.
 
What are the deepest parts and how long do you need to be able to hold your breath underwater?

Silentspear,

We will show you all the passages and do them ourselves, its up to you if you want to do them. The deepest crevice is probably at about 15 ft. and the longest tunnel is about 70-80 ft. in distance- this one requires about 30-35 seconds of dynamic breath holding.
 
I'm sometimes down there visiting family. Got any pics of the marine life?

I wish I did, I'm sure on the internet you can find some pics. Garibaldi's, different types of bass, Sea Lions etc. are rampant. The real gem here for free divers is the underwater terrain.
 
hi
some friends and i are going to do some snorkeling and freediving in la jolla next week, monday and wednesday. i looked online and the water temp down there is 71. That sounds warm enough to just go in trunks. I was there last year in august and the water was warm enough that we didn't need suits then either. Just wondering how the water feels now, if its warm enough for just a swimsuit or if i should bring a wetsuit with me???

liberte,

The water will likely be in the high 60's, not quite 71- this maybe be possible in the real shallows, like 2 ft. or less. You can definitely just go in trunks if you intend on just looking at the fish and whatnot, but if you want to go in the caves and tunnels and do all the really exciting and fun stuff I HIGHLY recomend a suit- the rock walls are covered in barnacles and shells which are razor sharp, without a suit these will cut your skin in an instant.

Let me know if you guys are interested in the tour ;)
