About Bos 400 Wreck

The coast faces W: swell from the W reaches it, and wind from the E blows out to sea. No dive centre within 10 km, the nearest 11 km away. The sea is about 14°C in May, its coldest month (7 mm semi-dry or a drysuit), and 16°C in January, its warmest (7 mm wetsuit and hood). The town to stay in is Blouberg.
