Scuba Diving La Jolla Shores, Giant Sea Bass School Encounter

Face to face with a living legend! 🐋 Diving La Jolla Shores is always incredible, but nothing compares to dropping down near the canyon and looking out into the blue to see a massive Giant Sea Bass (Stereolepis gigas) cruising right toward you.

These gentle giants can live up to 100 years and weigh upwards of 300 to 500+ pounds. Dubbed the "Volkswagens of the deep," seeing one of these magnificent, slow-moving apex residents in the wild is an absolute bucket-list experience for any scuba diver.

In this video, we're exploring the iconic La Jolla underwater canyon, navigating the sandy flats, and getting an up-close look at California's largest reef fish. The sheer scale of these creatures next to a diver is something you have to see to believe!
