A local operator can choose the right entry side and keep the profile aligned with the group's comfort level.
Las tetas is a Catalina Islands pinnacle that gives you a shallow side for easier work and a deeper wall-like drop for divers who want more of the rock face. The route is varied enough to feel like a true island dive, with sharks, schools of reef fish, and ray chances keeping the scene active around the canyons and rock edges. Plan it as an advanced boat dive, because the site is deep enough to need discipline even when the shallow side looks friendly.
