About this site
Church Ope Cove on Portland offers charming shore diving across old quarried rock faces, kelp-covered boulders, and sandy patches, with cuttlefish, octopus, and dozens of nudibranch species to reward patient observers. The historic cove descends to around 12 m and is sheltered enough for comfortable diving in most summer conditions.
