About Bubble Cave

A reef dive. It suits Advanced 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 10 km, the nearest 14 km away. The sea is about 20°C in August, its coldest month (7 mm wetsuit and hood), and 26°C in February, its warmest (3 mm wetsuit). For experienced divers the best months are usually January, February, March and April, with about 7 good days in 7. From the weather of past years. The town to stay in is Wooli.

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. This week's visibility, the current and the life no free forecast gives.
