Thanks for the link Max, but unfortunately as I'm finding out, there are no "coastal" scans. Most of these scans start in the 200' and much deeper depth range. I'm looking for reefs and wrecks within recreational limits.

Anyone?

Shallow water is the realm of the Corps of Engineers.

The only thing I have is of Marineland/Buchanan's Reef. Most wrecks close to shore would likely be so scattered that you wouldn't find much to see.

This is what I was looking for. You can find similar bathy scans for the CA coast here;

My name is Todd Lovstrom and I am a senior in Arizona State University's geography department. I have focused much of my interest and research towards applications of GIS in the marine/coastal areanas. I have found alot of inforation and journal articles authored by Dawn Wright out of UCSB. My knowledge is limited, but i would be interested to hear from you and your exspiriences in the dicipline.
