Why dive here
Church Rock is a dive in California, United States. Water ranges 14-21°C, warmest July, August, September.
Church Rock offers solid shore diving, best for those comfortable with California's surge. We've often found nudibranchs tucked into the crevices and schooling rockfish off the main pinnacle. It's a decent spot for a relaxed second dive, especially if you're keen on macro photography and don't mind a bit of a kick out. Just check the swell before you go.
