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 Le Grec Wreck
A wreck dive. It goes down to 47 m. You get in from a boat. It suits experienced divers only, as a dive guide states it. The coast faces W: swell from the W reaches it, and wind from the E blows out to sea. No dive centre within 10 km, the nearest 10 km away. The sea is about 14°C in February, its coldest month (7 mm semi-dry or a drysuit), and 25°C in August, its warmest (3 mm wetsuit). The town to stay in is Le Lavandou. Within 5 km we also list 11 dive sites.
