Why dive here
Seal Point is a reef dive in California, United States. Water ranges 14-21°C, warmest July, August, September.
Seal Point delivers on its name with plenty of playful harbor seals. We usually spot them resting on the rocks or curious enough to come investigate divers in the kelp forests. It's a shallow dive, easy enough for newer divers comfortable in temperate water, and a good spot for photographers looking for seal interaction. Visibility can vary, as it often does in California, but on a good day, it’s a delightful dive.
