About Whale Rock

A pinnacle dive. It goes down to 25 m. You get in from a boat. It suits Advanced divers and up, as a dive guide states it. The coast faces NW: swell from the NW reaches it, and wind from the SE blows out to sea. No dive centre within 10 km, the nearest 12 km away. The sea is about 26°C in August, its coldest month (3 mm wetsuit), and 30°C in March, its warmest (rash vest or 1 to 2 mm). The town to stay in is Beau Vallon Beau Vallon. Within 5 km we also list 2 dive sites.
