Wolf-eels at Ogden Point breakwater

Ogden point breakwater is a good dive for any level. The deepest parts are >35 meters before the breakwater bottoms out and turns into a mildly sloping sandy bottom. There are 5 dive flags painted on the ~800 m breakwater but the diving can be done anywhere. Beware of boats if you are near the end of the breakwater. The waters can be  choppy if the wind is blowing from the south west. Big red Irish Lords can be seen at the surface, big lingcod anywhere past 10 m and wolf eels from 15 m onward. Current is minor when diving near slack. If you are not diving during slack and there is current beware of the bull kelp.
