It is during these months that you will find some of the best diving and, of course, the lowest summer prices.
Diving here goes hand in hand with boating.
Virtually all diving is done from chartered boats, or from those owned by professional diving operators. With an average water temperature of 26.5 C, diving here is a year-round affair. There are no thermoclines. From time to time an occasional strong current may affect some of the sites, but most are just wind-related surface currents. Most islands are rocky with sub-tropical vegetation, and many are fringed by secluded, white, sandy beaches to the north and west.
