Naval Ocean Systems Tower

In 1988 a strong winter storm knocked down the Naval Electronics Lab ("The Tower"), research tower which had been a fixture ½ mile off the San Diego coast since 1959. The tower looked very much like an oil rig and was always a good dive because it attracted many fish and was home to a multitude of small marine life. Now the entire structure lies in 60 feet of water and is still home to many species of marine life.

egunnison - 6/22/2014 4:34 PM I went scuba diving here on 6/21/2014. Average viz: 21-25ft/6-8m. Water temp: 50-55°F/10-13°C. Tower is just a few pylons sticking out of the bottom now, the platform is long gone. Very easy second dive at a max of 60 feet. This is a very small site, you can explore the whole wreck several times on a tank with no issue. Decent amount of growth on the wreck and some smaller fish, watch out for fishing line especially if you swim through the structure.
