About Jackobs Klip (Rock)
Jackobs Klip is a boat-only West Coast boulder-and-kelp dive west of Jackops Bay. The north side of the rock gives you seals, kelp forest structure, and a cool-water coastal profile that rewards steady buoyancy more than speed. Visibility swings with the weather, so the best runs are the calmer, clearer days when the seal action and kelp lanes line up.
