When’s the best time of year to dive?
Tropical North Queensland is great for diving all year round, although the diving is different in summer and winter. Seasons are the reverse of the northern hemisphere. Winter (June to Aug) – Our winters usually offer warm, clear days with better visibility but the wind is often stronger and the water temperature is a little cooler. • humpback whales etc., manta rays (aug onwards) visibility tends to be better 15-25 m • water temp 21-25 degrees Celsius • land temp approx 25 degrees Celsius Spring/Summer (Sept to Dec) – In Summer the water warms up and generally offers lighter winds. January to April is our wet/cyclone season with high humidity but can offer some great diving with large schools of bait fish around and therefore lots of feeding.
