Frontside of Anacapa. All the dive boats out of Ventura know where it is and will take you there if you ask.
It is a protected wreck. Very little is left that is recognizable. I've dived on it a dozen times or so over the years. It's a nice site but not really a recognizable wreck anymore. There are a few large pieces that are clearly man made artifacts, and then some remnants of copper sheeting and copper nails, but removal is not allowed.
