About Roca Peligrosa, Danger Rock
Roca Peligrosa, Danger Rock is a boat-dived offshore pinnacle a few kilometers south of the Catalina Islands, with shallow and deeper sections around a rock that breaks the surface. It is better as an extra dive for comfortable divers than as a first open-water outing, and the route is usually a controlled circle rather than a straight traverse.
