A wreck dive. It suits Advanced divers and up, as a dive guide states it. The coast faces NW: swell from the NW reaches it, and wind from the SE blows out to sea.

For Advanced divers the best months are usually May and June, with about 7 good days in 7; in January, February and December, about 5. From the weather of past years. The town to stay in is Cuxhaven.

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.
