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.

The coast faces NE: swell from the NE reaches it, and wind from the SW blows out to sea. 1 dive centre or shop within 10 km, the nearest 9.1 km away. The sea is about 27°C in February, its coldest month (3 mm wetsuit), and 30°C in October, its warmest (rash vest or 1 to 2 mm). For Advanced divers the best months are usually September and October, with about 7 good days in 7. From the weather of past years. The town to stay in is Providencia.

What you might see

Too few open records near this site to list its animals. Ask a dive centre what you are likely to see.

This week: visibility about 30 m, clearer than usual (satellite plankton reading, 24 Oct). Estimated from the month's typical visibility and this week's satellite chlorophyll against the site's normal; heavy rain before a dive can still muddy it.

The current and the life no free forecast gives. Ask a dive centre before you book.
