When to Go
The best time to go diving in the Maldives is from November to April, which is the dry season. During this time, the weather is usually sunny, and the seas are calm, making it ideal for diving. The water temperature ranges from 27-30°C, providing a comfortable environment for diving. During the dry season, the visibility is generally excellent, with clear waters that allow for excellent underwater photography and videography. This is also the peak season for tourism in the Maldives, so it's advisable to book your trip well in advance to ensure availability. From May to October, the wet season brings stronger winds and rougher seas, making diving conditions more challenging. However, this season also brings the possibility of seeing more significant pelagic species, such as whale sharks and manta rays. If you're an experienced diver looking for a unique diving experience, this season may be worth considering
