Why dive here
Wood Cove is a reef dive in California, United States. Water ranges 14-21°C, warmest July, August, September.
Wood Cove, nestled along California’s coast, is a straightforward shore dive. We usually find kelp forests here, with garibaldi, señoritas, and the occasional sheephead weaving through the fronds. It’s a good spot for a relaxed dive, especially if you’re looking to get wet without much fuss or are still building your confidence with shore entries.
