Big Creek was one of the best dive spots in Big Sur, with easy access and great diving. However, entry to dive there for recreational or commercial purposes is prohibited. You cannot dive or snorkel within a mile of shore, and to 300 depth.
DFG did not intend that Big Creek be closed off to non-extractive users. But Attorney General Dan Lundgren ruled that the wording of the reserve meant that NO ONE except scientists could enter those waters.
