La Jolla by the caves. There are some deep water canyons just offshore.
Also, in that spot where this photo was taken is a leopard shark breeding ground. (Totally Totally harmless.) The water is chuck full of them in August. Almost certainly what the other snorkelers at looking at in the background.

It's an oar fish.
Theyre pretty interesting. They're a deep water species that only surface when they're about to die.
Also you expect them to swim with their body in a horizontal orientation, but in their normal life they swim much more vertically aligned.
