hey booger -am also born and raised here in S.Cali- and gone with friends who fish all around catalina -and other channel islands-as well as with friends who scuba off catalina- and its is pretty and blue in quite a few areas..
I too wont go in the ocean around OC--yuck...
My favorite area to swim and hang is at Cosmos and the long bay public beach which is way up from the river..
