Rafes Chasm
About Rafes Chasm
After a short walk through oak woodland, this site opens onto granite ledges that step down into the ocean. Divers enter and exit through a narrow cut directly in front of the approach path, with a giant-stride entry possible on the west side. Exit conditions can be demanding when surge is running. The rocky habitat supports schooling fish and invertebrate life along the ledges.
