About Victory B8

A wreck dive. It suits Advanced divers and up, as a dive guide states it. The coast faces SE: swell from the SE reaches it, and wind from the NW 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 23°C in July, its coldest month (5 mm wetsuit), and 26°C in March, its warmest (3 mm wetsuit). For Advanced divers the best month is usually February, with about 7 good days in 7; in May, August and September, about 4. From the weather of past years. The town to stay in is Guarapari.

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. 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.
