One of the hardest things to do when you start diving the Monterey & Carmel area is trying to figure out where you can dive.
Here is a great map from the Bay Area Underwater Explorers that provides some insane detail of the underwater topography. The MLPA's are pretty close and it is recommended that you take a moment to really understand where the MLPA's are, but this will you give you a good feel.
Great map for structure! Here is an interactive map for finding where you can and can't fish/take inverts! It's much easier to use than DFW maps
