Seal Cove
Seal Cove: boat-only kelp reef with seals and small life
Plan Seal Cove around high water; it is a shallow, seal-sensitive boat dive off Polly Joke with sheltered reef structure and lots of small life.
About Seal Cove
Seal Cove is a boat-access rocky reef off Polly Joke that needs careful timing because seals use the nearby gully and the dive is best at high water. Expect a shallow, sheltered kelp reef with mixed rock, overhangs, and dense small-life action, making it a good wildlife-focused boat dive rather than a big open-water profile.
