Bird Rock - Catalina Island
★★★★☆
(249)
One of the best dive sites on Catalina Island, Bird Rock varies from shallow rocks to steep drop-offs and a beautiful arch. The shallow rocky area is great for snorkeling and the entire site is great for new to advanced divers. The water is nearly always clear, calm and generally without current.
Thousands of blue-banded gobies litter the reef, along with the rare abalone, resident rockfish, painted greenlings, and moray eels.
