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 MS Hamburg
A wreck dive. It goes down to 25 m. You get in from a boat or the shore. It suits Advanced divers and up, 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 4°C in February, its coldest month (drysuit), and 14°C in August, its warmest (7 mm semi-dry or a drysuit). The town to stay in is Svolvær. Within 5 km we also list 2 dive sites and 1 climbing area.
