Malibu freediving/snorkeling

[roban]

Hi,

I'm going to be in Malibu, California December 24th - Jan 1. I'm interested in the "lookin' at the wildlife" flavor of freediving. Anyone have any experience with good spots in the area?

I found this page, which made me hopeful:

How's the visibility this time of year? How deep is the thermocline and how cold does it get down there?

I looked at surface temperature records here:

Looks like it'll be around 60-64 degrees F. I've got a 3mil shorty that I'm sure would leave me shivering, so I'm planning to buy a new suit there. Any recomendations of dive shops?

Thanks!

Go to spearboard for all your info. I hit Leo Carillo, La Piedra a lot, for deep dives I hit Pt. Dume, healthy current but if your fit your fine!
