About Polar Bear

A wreck dive. It goes down to 16 m. You get in from a boat. It suits experienced divers only, as a dive guide states it. The coast faces S: swell from the S reaches it, and wind from the N 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 5°C in February, its coldest month (drysuit), and 14°C in July, its warmest (7 mm semi-dry or a drysuit). No town nearby. No bookable town within 60 km: the nearest, Whittier, is 159 km away. Nearest airport: CDV (CDV), 20 km. Within 5 km we also list 1 ski resort and 1 dive site.
