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 نوميديا
A wreck dive. It goes down to 80 m. You get in from a boat. It suits experienced divers only, as a dive guide states it. The coast faces NW: swell from the NW reaches it, and wind from the SE 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 23°C in January, its coldest month (5 mm wetsuit), and 29°C in July, its warmest (rash vest or 1 to 2 mm). No town nearby. Nearest beds: Al Quşayr, 61 km. Nearest airport: Marsa Alam International Airport (RMF), 88 km. Within 5 km we also list 3 dive sites.
- What it is Wreck.
- How deep Down to 80 m: technical diving, past the 40 m recreational limit.
- Getting in From a boat.
- Who it suits Suits experienced divers only, as a dive guide states it.
- Dive centres No dive centre within 50 km on the map: book a liveaboard or a boat from further off.
