About Blind Pass Beach

A sand dive. It goes down to 2 m. You get in from the shore. It suits Open Water divers and up, as a dive guide states it. The coast faces SW: swell from the SW reaches it, and wind from the NE 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 19°C in January, its coldest month (7 mm wetsuit and hood), and 31°C in July, its warmest (rash vest or 1 to 2 mm). For Open Water divers the best month is usually July, with about 7 good days in 7; in January, about 4. From the weather of past years. The town to stay in is Englewood. Within 5 km we also list 1 dive site.
