Save some energy for the trek back to your car at the end of the dive! This is a huge training spot for OC dive schools, so it can get crowded. Get there early for best parking, but please be quiet. There are houses close by and noises carry.

If diving at Shaws on a weekend you must get there early because parking fills up quick. It is a site known for taking classes because of its ease and active marine life.

If you want to see Shaws at night check out the following video...

Decent dice at Shaw’s, little bit of surf on the entry with a much easier exit. Great to be back in the water with great company
