Best time to dive teh Bahamas: Diving the Bahamas is possible year round. There are some fluctuations in the weather, however for the most part these have a minimal effect. November brings with it colder fronts occasionally, and the water temperature can drop to 25°C. For 'winter', the temperatures are still at a level to dive comfortably. The warmest water temperatures 30°C occur during the summer months from June to September. This is also when the seas are the calmest and visibility the best. However with such incredible conditions, the visibility is still spectacular even during the winter months. August is considered to be the month that experiences most storms, although these are also infrequent. Although a year round destination for divers, there are some seasonal factors that could affect the species you encounter. The Bahamas liveaboards visit Tiger Beach to see tiger sharks around the May to July period, while March to June is the best time for spotting oceanic whitetips. April tends to the be the best critter time of the year and therefore favored by macro enthusiasts. May is an active period for fish and coral spawning.
Water temperature: 25-28ºC (summer months), 24-27ºC (winter months, with possible 22ºC drop in January). 3-5 mm wetsuit recommended
Destination good for: Tiger Sharks, Lemon Sharks, dolphin, grouper, snapper and other abundant marine life
