The moon in Diliskelesi
Moon phase and position
Today the moon is 226,576 mi away and looks 32′ 46″ across.
Solunar periods
Today's activity: medium- 2:22–4:22 am Major · the moon passes overhead · high activity
- 2:54–4:54 pm Major · the moon passes underfoot · high activity
- 10:59–11:59 am Minor · moonset · medium activity
- 7:48–8:48 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 quicklyThe bottom deepens quickly: 33 ft of water 0.25 mi from shore. It reaches 164 ft at 1.1 mi.
From the shoreline (0.85 mi from Diliskelesi) out to sea, heading west.

- 33 ft deep0.25 mi
- 66 ft deep0.35 mi
- 164 ft deep1.1 mi
For fishing, swimming and diving
- Shore fishing. Deep water close in: about 10 ft just 330 ft out. Good for casting from rocks, jetties or the beach itself; current and surf hit harder here.
- Swimming. The bottom drops quickly near the shore and you are soon out of your depth. Keep an eye on kids and weak swimmers.
- Diving. Shore diving works here: 33 ft at 0.25 mi and 66 ft at 0.35 mi 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.
