Current Time Adjustment

Post by E_Mo »

A long time ago I found a site that had listings for dive sites recommending tide/current stations to use and the appropriate time adjustment based on the distance from those stations.

I have since lost that site, does it ring a bell for anyone? If not anyone have anything similar they use?

Thanks

I haven't found a website that contains all of the corrections for specific divesites. I typically use Mishi Carters book "Current and Tide Tables for Dive Planning" in combination with Northwest Shore Dives.

the "Seattle Area Tides & Currents" link in the Planning section of NWDC's homepage links to that site, too. :)

Mishi Carter's book is a good resource as is Stephen Fischnaller's Northwest Shore Dives.
