About Nordland
A wreck dive. It suits Open Water divers and up, as a dive guide states it. The coast faces NE: swell from the NE reaches it, and wind from the SW 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 16°C in February, its coldest month (7 mm wetsuit and hood), and 26°C in July, 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. From the weather of past years. No town nearby. No bookable town within 60 km: the nearest, Mavrovouni, is 70 km away. Nearest airport: CHQ (CHQ), 125 km.

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.
