About Axel Carlson
A wreck dive. It goes down to 22 m. You get in from a boat. It suits Advanced divers and up, as a dive guide states it. The coast faces SE: swell from the SE reaches it, and wind from the NW blows out to sea. No dive centre within 50 km on the map: book a liveaboard or a boat from further off. The sea is about 5°C in February, its coldest month (drysuit), and 24°C in July, its warmest (5 mm wetsuit). For experienced divers the best months are usually February, March, April and May, with about 7 good days in 7; in January, October and December, about 6. From the weather of past years. The town to stay in is Beach Haven.

Day scores are the conditions out of 80, from the two best daylight readings: a morning and an afternoon dive. Sea is the open water's waves near the site, in metres. Wind and gusts are in knots (10 kn is about 19 km/h); "boats in" marks gusts that keep dive boats in. This week's visibility, the current and the life no free forecast gives.
