One of the truly magical spots in California! La Jolla Cove is part of a Marine Preserve and a popular spot for snorklers and scuba divers. We visiit with local free diver Cameron and his adventures with garibaldi, grouper and other local denizens of the deep.
Hi, it's Pat Pattison with the Best of California Award and I'm here with intrepid diver Cameron Corner
and you are about ready to go in to La Jolla Cove, or did you just get out? You're wet.
No, I'm just about to go in.
You're just about to go in. So tell me what you find out there, Cameron.
There's some calico sea bass just swimming around in Garibaldi, just the local stuff,
and surf perch, just the ordinary around here, and when you go a little bit further out
in the kelp beds you can find some pretty big fish, some grouper and white sea bass.
Wow, wow. And the Garibaldi, those are the beautiful orange ones, right?
And are they pretty common now?
Yeah, they're pretty common all around the west coast, so they're just all around.
And what are you hoping to get today?
I'm hoping to capture some footage of just anything and hoping to see some big fish today.
So how long have you been down here? You live locally?
Yes, I'm a junior in high school right now and I've been diving since sixth grade.
Wow, wow. Is this your dad?
Yes.
Yeah, and does your dad dive as well?
On occasion, with me sometimes.
He said it's a little too cold for him today, though.
He's a fair weather diver, he says off camera.
So Cameron, thank you. So this is kind of a protected area, the whole thing?
So no actually spearing or capturing any fish?
No, not around here. Just a little bit down south at Boomer's Beach.
That's where I go spearfishing typically and you can catch some big-ass fish over there.
Okay, great. Well, it's good that we have some protected, but you can still go get some and have dinner.
