Local clock times; heights about mean sea level. On open coasts the times are usually within a quarter of an hour; in bays, estuaries and on the Gulf of Mexico they can be an hour or more out. Slack water, the safest time to dive where there is current, is about half an hour either side of each high and low.

About Å Shore Dive
A reef dive. It goes down to 10 m. You get in from the shore. It suits Advanced divers and up, as a dive guide states it. The coast faces SE: swell from the SE reaches it, and wind from the NW 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 13°C in August, its warmest (7 mm semi-dry or a drysuit). For Advanced divers the best month is usually July, with about 7 good days in 7; in January and February, about 2. From the weather of past years. The town to stay in is Å. Within 5 km we also list 1 dive site.
