Indian Rock
★★★★☆
(891)
Considered the jewel of Emerald Bay, Indian Rock is full of amazing rocky outcroppings and kelp beds in the heart of Catalina Island. It’s a popular mooring spot for pleasure boats so be aware of boat traffic in this area. It’s best dived via boat charter as it’s a bit too far to swim from shore.
Huge schools of mackerel, Garibaldi, gorgonians, sea fans, octopus, small lobster, and morays with their cleaner shrimp companions, blue-banded gobies, and more!
