The sea is about 24°C in July, its coldest month (5 mm wetsuit), and 28°C in January, its warmest (3 mm wetsuit). For Advanced divers the best months are usually January, February, March and April, with about 7 good days in 7; in May and June, about 6. 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, 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.
