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 SS Rosalie
A wreck dive. It goes down to 9 m. You get in from the shore. It suits Advanced divers and up, as a dive guide states it. The coast faces N: swell from the N reaches it, and wind from the S blows out to sea. No dive centre within 10 km, the nearest 34 km away. The sea is about 6°C in February, its coldest month (drysuit), and 17°C in August, its warmest (7 mm wetsuit and hood). For Advanced divers the best months are usually June, July and August, with about 6 good days in 7. From the weather of past years. The town to stay in is East Runton.
