Your diving day at a glance

The best window, 8:50 am to 11:50 am, combines small waves, light wind, weak current and the sun high. Also worth a look from 6:40 am to 7:30 am, with small waves and weak current, though with moderate wind.

We don't have a reliable tide for Sarafovo, so slack water doesn't count in the rating.

Solunar periods

Today's activity: medium
  • 1:30–3:30 am Major · the moon passes overhead · high activity
  • 2:03–4:03 pm Major · the moon passes underfoot · high activity
  • 10:15–11:15 am Minor · moonset · medium activity
  • 6:49–7:49 pm Minor · moonrise · medium activity

According to solunar theory, fish feed more when the moon passes overhead or underfoot (major periods, about 2 h) and when it rises or sets (minor periods, 1 h). It works best around new and full moon.

Water depth

Shallow, gradual

Shallow, gradual bottom: you need to go 2.2 mi out for 33 ft of water.

From the shoreline (0.5 mi from Sarafovo) out to sea, heading southeast.

How far from shore

  • 16 ft deep1.6 mi
  • 33 ft deep2.2 mi
  • 66 ft deepnot within 3.1 mi
  • 164 ft deepnot within 3.1 mi

For fishing, swimming and diving

  • Shore fishing. Shallow, gradual bottom (16 ft at 1.6 mi): cast far from the beach and fish the high tide, when there is more water close in.
  • Swimming. A very gentle way in with plenty of shallow water, good for kids. At low tide the water can be far out.
  • Diving. Shallow near shore: you only reach 33 ft at 2.2 mi. For dives deeper than 33 ft, go by boat.

Inside bays, estuaries and harbors the bottom changes a lot from spot to spot (channels and shoals): use this only as a rough guide.
