About Dinah's Beach
A muck dive. It goes down to 15 m. You get in from the shore. It suits Open Water 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 10 km, the nearest 48 km away. The sea is about 26°C in July, its coldest month (3 mm wetsuit), and 30°C in March, its warmest (rash vest or 1 to 2 mm). For Advanced divers the best months are usually January, March and December, with about 7 good days in 7. From the weather of past years. The town to stay in is Samarai. Within 5 km we also list 1 dive site.

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 15 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.
