About Langton Island
A reef dive. It goes down to 16 m. You get in from a boat. It suits Advanced divers and up, as a dive guide states it.

The sea is about 15°C in August, its coldest month (7 mm semi-dry or a drysuit), and 19°C in January, its warmest (7 mm wetsuit and hood). For experienced divers the best months are usually January, February, March and April, with about 7 good days in 7; in July, about 5. From the weather of past years. No town nearby.

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.
