I'll post information of Palos Verdes dive sites when I dive there. I hope the information will be useful. I also hope that other PV divers will add to this thread too.
Dive Spot: Malaga Cove
Date: 04/17/04 (Saturday)
Entry Time: 11:00AM
Surf: 2-3ft.
Viz: 5~10ft.
Water Temp: 62 degrees
Max Depth: 26ft
It was raining earlier in the morning. My dive buddy and I discussed entry/exit risks and bacteria levels, but decided that we'll go ahead and dive. We selected Malaga Cove because of the paved trail, and because we'd be able to escape to RAT beach if the surf was to suddenly get rough.
At Malaga, we met a couple of guys who drove all the way from NorCal on Friday night just to freedive (spearfish), because they heard a rumor of WSB being spotted in the area. Poor guys...they drove hundreds of miles for these terrible conditions. I felt bad for them because they seemed like they were really nice guys.
We enterred from the southern end of the cove (past the private clubhouse) where the rocks are smaller. Viz was terrible where it was shallow, but it was better below 20ft. There wasn't too much out of the ordinary... a bat ray, a few leopard sharks, small sand and kelp bass, and too many garibaldi.
