When To Go Diving in British Virgin Islands
The ideal time to go diving in the British Virgin Islands is during the dry season, from December through May. This period is characterized by clearer skies and minimal rainfall, which results in better underwater visibility, crucial for an enjoyable diving experience. The seas are generally calmer during these months, facilitating smoother boat travel to dive sites and ensuring safer diving conditions.
Moreover, the water temperatures during this time are typically warm and inviting, ranging from about 25 to 28°C (78 to 82°F), providing comfortable conditions for divers. This warm temperature allows for extended dive times and greater comfort, especially for those who prefer diving without a thick wetsuit.
Additionally, this period avoids the Caribbean hurricane season, which runs from June to November, thus reducing the risk of storms and ensuring more predictable sea conditions. While diving is possible throughout the year in the British Virgin Islands, the combination of clear visibility, calm seas, and warm water temperatures makes December to May the most optimal time for diving
