Bishop Rock
Why dive here
Bishop Rock is a dive in California, United States. Water ranges 14-21°C, warmest July, August, September.
Bishop Rock, off the California coast, is a rocky outcrop that delivers a proper kelp forest experience. We’ve found leopard sharks cruising through the swaying fronds and bright orange garibaldi darting between crevices. It’s a good spot for divers comfortable with colder water and the potential for a bit of surge, offering a classic temperate Pacific dive.
