About this site

Stoney Point lies in Paradise Bay along the Antarctic Peninsula, a sheltered body of water often visited by expedition vessels operating in the Gerlache Strait area. The bay is known among Antarctic travelers for calm waters and glacier-lined shores, with dive activity there tied to expedition cruise itineraries rather than commercial dive operations. Divers in the area have reported crabeater seals, leopard seals, orcas, and Weddell seals around the point, though sightings depend heavily on season and ice conditions.
