About Mairie II

A wreck dive. It goes down to 17 m. You get in from a boat. 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 26°C in July, its coldest month (3 mm wetsuit), and 29°C in February, its warmest (rash vest or 1 to 2 mm). For experienced divers the best months are usually January, February, March and April, with about 7 good days in 7. From the weather of past years. No town nearby. No stay checked for this site yet: Otepa, 8 km away, is the nearest town we list. Nearest airport: HOI (HOI), 3 km.
