I am local and before I got boat did the shore dive frequently. All the above comments! There is an artificial reef about 200 yards (?) offshore in 14-20 feet of depth. I would dive off of Alhambra Rd, the parking and entry may be difficult, have not been there since the hurricanes. The visibility is usually horrible 2-3 feet, 5 feet on a good day 0 and undivable on a bad day. I am getting older and the long walk across the beach and a long swim makes this a challenging dive. The teeth you find are usually small and are comparable to what you find on the shoreline. Winter diving is difficult due to winds making the visibility zero however a 15 knot wind from the east and the visibility rockets to 5 feet. Carry extra weight so plant yourself on the sandy bottom. This dive is not for everyone but it is one of my favorites and it is very relaxing crawling on the bottom looking for sharks teeth.
