1) Palos Verdes (Pt. Vincente), a favorite of freedivers and a favorite spot of my when diving off of small boats.
"In 1986, scientists were able to measure a female white shark captured off Pt. Vincente that measured 17.6 ft and weighed 4,140 lbs."
2) San Miguel Island, I love Miguel and go there every chance I get. Pt. Bennet (Shark Park) is an especially nice spot.
3) Farallon Islands, I would love to back there. The best description is Miguel on steroids.
"Some high risk areas to avoid include waters around the Farallon Islands, San Miguel Island, the mouth of Tomales Bay, and Ano Nuevo."
