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

Never dive alone and check with the local dive shop: this rating is a guide, not a substitute for a professional.

Solunar periods

Today's activity: medium
  • 1:54–3:54 am Major · the moon passes overhead · high activity
  • 2:26–4:26 pm Major · the moon passes underfoot · high activity
  • 10:21–11:21 am Minor · moonset · medium activity
  • 7:31–8:31 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

Deepens quickly

The bottom deepens quickly: 33 ft of water 700 ft from shore. It reaches 164 ft at 1,200 ft.

From the shoreline (1.1 mi from Drépano) out to sea, heading north.

How far from shore

  • 16 ft deep500 ft
  • 33 ft deep700 ft
  • 66 ft deep850 ft
  • 164 ft deep1,200 ft

For fishing, swimming and diving

  • Shore fishing. 33 ft of water just 700 ft from shore: a good cast reaches deep water. Current and surf hit harder here.
  • Swimming. The water gets deeper little by little, but a few dozen yards out you can no longer stand.
  • Diving. Shore diving works here: 33 ft at 700 ft and 66 ft at 850 ft from shore.

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