About Gudrun

A wreck dive. It suits Open Water divers and up, 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 17°C in August, its warmest (7 mm wetsuit and hood). For Advanced divers the best months are usually March, April, May and June, with about 7 good days in 7. From the weather of past years. The town to stay in is Flekkefjord. Within 5 km we also list 7 dive sites.

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.
