The Best Time of Year to Dive in Jamaica
Jamaica is a fantastic diving destination known for its rich marine biodiversity and beautiful warm waters. The best time to dive is from December to April when visibility is at its highest, reaching 21 to 30 meters (70 to 100 feet). During this dry season, divers enjoy consistent sightings of marine life like sea turtles and moray eels in water temperatures of 26°C to 29°C (79°F to 84°F). For budget-conscious travelers, the shoulder season from November to early December offers lower prices with still warm waters. Although diving during the off-season from June to November is less ideal due to weather, it still offers vibrant marine experiences, especially with turtle nesting.
