Why dive here
Landing cove is a reef dive in California, United States. Water ranges 14-21°C, warmest July, August, September.
Landing Cove, nestled within Catalina Island's protective embrace, often delivers calm conditions perfect for newer divers. We've often seen giant kelp forests here, swaying gently, providing shelter for Garibaldi and kelp bass. Look closer among the fronds, and you might spot a shy octopus or a nudibranch clinging to a blade. It's a solid choice for a relaxing afternoon dive, especially if you’re keen on macro life without fighting a strong current.
