Santa Barbara is 100 miles north of Los Angeles and the coastline runs 
East and West at that point. The Channel Islands, Anacapa, Santa Cruz, 
Santa Rosa and San Miguel are 20 miles South, two hour boat trip. I've been 
told by many divers that it has some of the best diving in the world. The 
Islands are known for their kelp forests, which provide a safe haven for an 
abundance of colorful marine life. Also Anacapa and Santa Cruz Island have 
great Cave diving. Vis is usually 30 to 50 ft and depth ranges from 30 to 
70ft for recreational diving with lots to see and to 150ft for more 
advanced diving.
