When do people normally start seeing wreckfish at the dive park? Is it generally seasonal?
Usually in the Spring to late Summer, with August being the biggest month. There are at least two dozen year-round residents at Hermosa Beach Artificial Reef.

Looks like fun! I’ve never been around the big guys.
We've been seeing solitary ones through the winter but groups started appearing in late Feb/early Mar this year... just in time for the dive park to be closed!

Veteran's Park in Redondo Beach is now open for diving! The Viz was probably 10 ft and no waves to speak of so entry / exit was easy. I took my Dive-X Blacktip dpv to make any easy trip out to the Redondo Canyon and was not disappointed. Tuna Crabs, AKA Red Pelagic Crabs, were everywhere. Starting from the edge of the Canyon just North of steps from 50 to at least 85ft, thousands and thousands of crabs carpeting the bottom. It probably took 5 minutes of scootering NW around the lip of the canyon before I stopped seeing them. I have seen videos of them on night dives and they appear to be very active then. Not sure how much longer they will be around though......
