About this site
San Miguel Island sits at the far western end of California's Channel Islands, exposed to open Pacific swell and cooler currents than the more sheltered islands to the east. Dive sites around the island are typically reached by boat out of Ventura or Santa Barbara, and the area is known generally for kelp forests and pinniped colonies rather than any single documented feature at this specific location.
