Why dive here
Wilson Rock is a dive in California, United States. Water ranges 14-21°C, warmest July, August, September.
Wilson Rock, off the California coast, is a series of pinnacles breaking the surface, extending down to a rocky bottom. Here, we typically find a good spread of California’s temperate species: kelp forests, rockfish, and often some bigger pelagics passing through. The site is exposed, so it’s best for experienced divers comfortable with surge and cooler water. We think it’s a solid pick for those looking for a classic Southern California dive.
