About this site
Arrow Point is a dive site along the rocky coastline of Santa Catalina Island, off the coast of Southern California, typically reached by boat from harbors such as Avalon or Two Harbors. Like much of the island's shoreline, it features kelp forests and granite outcrops in the nearshore terrain. The site reaches a maximum depth of around 8 metres and is rated a beginner dive. Divers have also reported strong current around the point, so it's worth keeping an eye on conditions even at this shallow depth.
