About USS San Diego (ACR-6)
A wreck dive. It goes down to 33 m. You get in from a boat. It suits experienced divers only, as a dive guide states it. The coast faces S: swell from the S reaches it, and wind from the N 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 5°C in February, its coldest month (drysuit), and 24°C in July, its warmest (5 mm wetsuit). For experienced 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 Ocean Beach.

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.
