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 Ermlund
A wreck dive. It goes down to 25 m. You get in from a boat. 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. The sea is about 27°C in January, its coldest month (3 mm wetsuit), and 30°C in August, its warmest (rash vest or 1 to 2 mm). For Advanced divers the best months are usually August, September and October, with about 7 good days in 7. From the weather of past years. No town nearby. Nearest place to stay we found: Itza Resort, Belize District, 7 km. Nearest beds: Belize City, 78 km. Nearest airport: Caye Chapel Airport (CYC), 76 km. Within 5 km we also list 1 dive site.
