If you have never dived before, timing matters more than you would think. Calm, clear water makes that first descent feel easy, and that mostly happens in the October to May window, when visibility runs around 5 to 15m and the sea is warm at roughly 26 to 30°C.
Shops close for the monsoon, June to September. Visibility is best from November to March.
Conditions shift year to year, so treat these as a guide. A certified dive shop will always have the most current read on sea state and visibility for your dates.
