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 Service Club Park

A sand dive. It goes down to 5 m. You get in from the shore. It suits Open Water divers and up, as a dive guide states it. The coast faces SW: swell from the SW reaches it, and wind from the NE blows out to sea. No dive centre within 10 km, the nearest 47 km away. The sea is about 19°C in January, its coldest month (7 mm wetsuit and hood), and 31°C in August, its warmest (rash vest or 1 to 2 mm). The town to stay in is Venice. Within 5 km we also list 2 surf spots, 1 wind sports spot, 6 dive sites and 1 kayak spot.
