Point Lobos is worthy of mention as one of the best shore dives in California. Monastery Beach is good. Garrapata is great. A dive called "Butterfly House" along the shoreline just south of Carmel beach is one of my faves.
I like Mendocino and Fort Bragg area on a good day -- though those are few and far between. Diving for abalone is the draw for me there but the diving is great too.

Yes, Butterfly House, Monastery Beach right behind the hand rail, Whalers Cove, Pt. Lobos to the right of that where the waves are breaking and The Monterey Trench in the middle. It's a nice playground.
