Why dive here
Seal Rocks is a dive in California, United States. Water ranges 14-21°C, warmest July, August, September.
Seal Rocks delivers exactly what it says: plenty of sea lions and harbor seals. We typically see these curious mammals zipping around the rocky reef, often coming in close for a look. It’s a shallower dive, making it ideal for newer divers or those who just want to spend some time interacting with the local pinnipeds. Visibility can be a bit variable, but the animals are usually easy to spot.
