Fresh water: lake, river or quarry

About SS Kyle

A wreck dive in fresh water: a lake, quarry or spring. It goes down to 6 m. You get in from the shore. 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. For Advanced divers the best months are usually June, July and August, with about 7 good days in 7; in January and December, about 2. From the weather of past years. The town to stay in is Harbour Grace.

Forecast

Fresh water: lake, river or quarry: scored by other rules.

Fresh water has no waves to forecast, so the 48 points out of 80 that a sea site gets for a calm sea are given in full. The day turns on the wind (24 points) and the rain (8); gusts of 30 kn or more still score it nothing.

No sea temperature is read for it: nothing forecasts a lake's water, and it is often much colder at depth than at the top. Ask a dive centre what suit to bring.

Best on Mon 19: Fresh water (a lake, river or quarry): no sea, so scored on wind and rain only. Wind 4 kn gusting 12.

Day scores are the conditions out of 80, from the two best daylight readings: a morning and an afternoon dive. Fresh water (a lake, river or quarry): no sea, so scored on wind and rain only. Wind and gusts are in knots (10 kn is about 19 km/h); rain is over the daylight readings, in mm. Water has no reading: no sea temperature is read for a lake. What is under the water (visibility, current, life) no free forecast gives.
