About Norwegian Bay

A reef dive. It goes down to 4 m. You get in from a boat. It suits Open Water divers and up, as a dive guide states it. The coast faces W: swell from the W reaches it, and wind from the E 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 August, its coldest month (5 mm wetsuit), and 28°C in March, its warmest (3 mm wetsuit). No town nearby. No bookable town within 60 km: the nearest, Carnarvon, is 253 km away.

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. This week's visibility, the current and the life no free forecast gives.
