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 MV Vashon
A wreck dive. It goes down to 20 m. You get in from a boat. It suits experienced divers only, 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 6°C in February, its coldest month (drysuit), and 15°C in August, its warmest (7 mm semi-dry or a drysuit). No town nearby. Nearest beds: Masset, 107 km. Nearest airport: Ketchikan International Airport (KTN), 49 km.
