Why dive here
East Point is a dive in California, United States. Water ranges 14-21°C, warmest July, August, September.
East Point in California is a reliable shore dive, often used by local shops for training. You'll find a rocky reef sloping down, home to kelp forests where we’ve spotted numerous nudibranchs, rockfish, and occasional harbor seals. It’s a good spot for newer divers looking to practice skills without strong currents, or for photographers keen on macro subjects. Parking can be a bit of a challenge on weekends, so aim for an early morning dive.
