About Taunton

A wreck dive. It goes down to 6 m. You get in from a boat. It suits Open Water divers and up, as a dive guide states it. The coast faces N: swell from the N reaches it, and wind from the S blows out to sea. No dive centre within 10 km, the nearest 24 km away. The sea is about 20°C in February, its coldest month (7 mm wetsuit and hood), and 29°C in August, its warmest (rash vest or 1 to 2 mm). For Advanced divers the best months are usually June, July and August, with about 6 good days in 7; in January and December, about 1. From the weather of past years. The town to stay in is Hamilton. Within 5 km we also list 1 dive site.
