About City of Taunton

A wreck dive. It goes down to 4 m. You get in from the shore. It suits Open Water divers and up, as a dive guide states it. The coast faces SW: swell from the SW reaches it, and wind from the NE blows out to sea. No dive centre within 10 km, the nearest 28 km away. The sea is about 3°C in February, its coldest month (drysuit), and 23°C in August, its warmest (5 mm wetsuit). For Advanced divers the best months are usually May, June, July and August, with about 7 good days in 7. From the weather of past years. The town to stay in is Fall River.

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. What is under the water (visibility, current, life) no free forecast gives.
