About Jane L. Stanford
A wreck dive. It goes down to 5 m. You get in from a boat. It suits Advanced divers and up, as a dive guide states it. The coast faces N: swell from the N reaches it, and wind from the S 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 13°C in April, its coldest month (7 mm semi-dry or a drysuit), and 18°C in August, its warmest (7 mm wetsuit and hood). For Advanced divers the best months are usually January, February, March and May, with about 7 good days in 7; in April, about 6. From the weather of past years. The town to stay in is Goleta. Within 5 km we also list 1 surf spot.

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.
