About Boma

A wreck dive. It goes down to 32 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 10 km, the nearest 15 km away. The sea is about 9°C in March, its coldest month (drysuit), and 18°C in August, its warmest (7 mm wetsuit and hood). For Advanced divers the best months are usually March, April, May and June, with about 7 good days in 7. From the weather of past years. The town to stay in is Exmouth.

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, halved for a sheltered site. Wind and gusts are in knots (10 kn is about 19 km/h); "boats in" marks gusts that keep dive boats in. What is under the water (visibility, current, life) no free forecast gives.
