The sea is about 21°C in July, its coldest month (5 mm wetsuit), and 27°C in February, its warmest (3 mm wetsuit). For Advanced divers the best months are usually January and February, with about 6 good days in 7; in August, September and October, about 3. From the weather of past years.

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. 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.
