The sea is about 23°C in February, its coldest month (5 mm wetsuit), and 30°C in July, its warmest (rash vest or 1 to 2 mm). For experienced divers the best months are usually February, March, April and May, with about 7 good days in 7; in January and December, about 6. From the weather of past years. No town nearby. No bookable town within 60 km: the nearest, Key West, is 107 km away. Nearest airport: EYW (EYW), 112 km. Within 5 km we also list 1 wind sports spot and 8 dive sites.

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.
