Notes for every spot in Mission Bay
The jetties are protected from most surf, so they can still be a good dive when visibility elsewhere is poor. (D11) Waterhorse calls Mission Bay the best place in San Diego for night diving and lobster from shore. (D45) Check laws.md first: city code limits swimming and diving in the channel and on the breakwaters.
Lobster
no source found for this spot. Bay-wide, charters hoop-net the eelgrass beds and channel edges (see locations.md G).
