Why dive here
Sears Rock is a reef dive in California, United States. Water ranges 14-21°C, warmest July, August, September.
Sears Rock isn't about tropical warmth or dizzying pelagics. This is classic California diving, chilly and invigorating, a real local favourite when the conditions play nice. We love the feeling of dropping into that cool Pacific water, the kelp stalks swaying like an underwater forest. Keep an eye out for the resident green shore crabs scuttling over the rocks and the surprising pops of colour from carpet sea squirts. It’s a site that rewards a slow, deliberate dive, poking into crevices for juvenile rockfish or watching a big skate glide by. For divers who appreciate the subtler beauty of temperate reefs, Sears Rock offers a rewarding experience. It’s perfect for those who enjoy exploring intricate rocky habitats and don't mind a bit of a chill for the chance to spot unique Pacific Northwest species.
