When is the best weather to visit and dive in Australia?
The good thing about Australia is that it is so big and that there is always a place where it is summer. Being on the southern half of the planet, our seasons are reverse, Christmas is our summer, whereas skiing happens in June in Southern Australia! So it will depend a lot on your activities to answer this question. In general, Australia is great for travel and diving all year round, especially up north in the tropics of the Barrier Reef. The majority of divers visit the part of the Great Barrier Reef between the Far Northern section (Cairns) and the southern Great Barrier Reef section (Townsville). For this reason we have compiled weather information for divers about this area. Please check directly with us for other regional info about weather conditions. Although the North is tropical there are 4 seasons! They are not so defined as in the northern hemisphere, but we have them: Spring: Sep-Nov, Summer: Dec-Feb, Autumn: March-May, Winter: June-Aug. Diving conditions are usually best
