Default San Onofre Snorkling?

Okay besides all the sharks in San Onofre how is the snorkling there?
I heard that near the nuclear power plant there is very warm water
because of the power plant which caused an increase of interesting
fish that are not native to California such as tropical fish. How did
these tropical fish get there if they are not native? I don't even
know if this is true. Okay there is risk of radiation of course but
besides radiation and sharks how good is the snorkeling there? I've
snorkeled in Hawaii many of times but not plans this year and I'd like
a good place to snorkle in CA without having to go to Catalina.


Thanks,



James

Default Re: San Onofre Snorkling?

errr... where did you hear that? There are no tropical fish there.
Even if there was a way for tropical fish to get to San Onofre water
dilution, changing weather conditions, and fluctuations in discharge
water will finish them off in a hurry (among other things). There's no
radiation either.

If you go snorkeling there don't expect warm water, the discharge
vents are between 1/2 to 1.5 miles out(there are 3 of them). I've dove
the site, it's nothing fantastic. I recommend La Jolla cove for
snorkeling.
