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 Victory B8
A wreck dive. It suits Advanced divers and up, as a dive guide states it. The coast faces SE: swell from the SE reaches it, and wind from the NW 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 July, its coldest month (5 mm wetsuit), and 26°C in March, its warmest (3 mm wetsuit). For Advanced divers the best month is usually February, with about 7 good days in 7; in May, August and September, about 4. From the weather of past years. The town to stay in is Guarapari.
