Cove Point
Why dive here
Cove Point is a reef dive in California, United States. Water ranges 14-21°C, warmest July, August, September.
Cove Point delivers a classic California kelp forest dive. You’ll weave through swaying golden fronds, often spotting garibaldi, sheephead, and various rockfish darting among the stalks. It’s a solid pick for divers comfortable in temperate waters, offering a relaxed exploration of the nearshore ecosystem. We find it’s best enjoyed on calmer days when the surge isn't pushing you around.
