When To Go Diving
There are good conditions for diving at this spot year-round, with an average water temperature of 27C/81F. However, due to the rainy southwest monsoon being active June through September, the most favorable time to go see Rocky Island's undersea riches is from November to April, when there is less rainfall and a milder air temperature, around 30C/86F. During the southwest monsoon season, the rainiest time is from June to August, and in September and October it is often sunny with notably less intense rainfall.
