About USS Pilgrim (SP-1204)

A wreck dive. It goes down to 6 m. You get in from the shore. It suits Advanced divers and up, as a dive guide states it. The coast faces W: swell from the W reaches it, and wind from the E 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 14°C in January, its coldest month (7 mm semi-dry or a drysuit), and 28°C in July, its warmest (3 mm wetsuit). For Advanced divers the best months are usually June, July and August, with about 7 good days in 7. From the weather of past years. The town to stay in is Beaufort. Within 5 km we also list 1 surf spot.
