Our Dive club, CID's in Ventura, made a trip there a while back. We founds about 20 pieces, the largest about 6 inches across. Some small pieces were found onshore, but as expected the good ones were collected Diving. I don't think the area is any less Solo Diveable than most other places. Just be sure the conditions are within your comfort zone...The surge was high when we were there, but as long as you went with it all was fine. I think looking for jade there is a lot like lobster Diving, mostly Solo anyway. The hike down and even more so the hike up is the hardest part of the Diving. We stayed at the Park about 1 mile up the road for the weekend.
