Scripps Canyon

Scripps Canyon is a narrow underwater gorge located in the Pacific Ocean off the coast of southern California, USA. The canyon is approximately one mile long, which joins to La Jolla Canyon offshore.

It is located near the Scripps Institution of Oceanography, a major oceanographic research institution, and as a result is one of the best-studied underwater canyons on earth. Scripps canyon is also a popular site for recreational divers, because of its vertical walls and high density of marine life.
