This is the area Wast of Lunaticos aka Outer Outer Pinnacles. Half a dozen parallel canyons run westward down to about 220' at the begging of the trench slope. I have seen some unusual life there like crinoids, a field of vase sponges like cactus in the Mojave desert or unusual nudibranchs. Current in the canyons may be an issue and although navigation is pretty straitfoward in the canyons, it is potentially a deeper dive on a relatively offshore location.
