What are the local diving conditions ?
The west coast, protected from the wind, offers good marine conditions. The see is often calm. We go outside the lagoon through passes that can be choppy when the wind turns. The current is usually limited but can sometimes be stronger. We do drift dives and the boat follows the divers. Introductory dives are operated inside the lagoon or in shallow and protected areas.
Local visibility often reaches 130 feet. The average temperature of the ocean is 76 degrees F (26 C) in the winter season and 84 F (30 C) during the summer. There is no noticeable temperature variation between the surface and a depth of 166 feet (50 m). A light wetsuit, 1/8 inch (3 mm), or even a lycra suit is sufficient for year-round thermal protection.
