About Seabass
A reef dive. It goes down to 15 m. You get in from a boat. It suits Advanced divers and up, as a dive guide states it. The coast faces NE: swell from the NE reaches it, and wind from the SW 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 25°C in January, its coldest month (3 mm wetsuit), and 30°C in August, its warmest (rash vest or 1 to 2 mm). For Advanced divers the best months are usually April, May, June and July, with about 7 good days in 7. From the weather of past years. The town to stay in is Jimmy Hill.

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.
