One of the highlights of diving in Bahia is the warm water temperature year-round.
• Water temperature: 25°C to 28°C (77°F – 82°F) throughout the year
• Visibility: 5 to 20 meters (winter and summer, respectively, depending on season and wind conditions)

During these months, sea conditions are generally calmer, offering better visibility and more stable weather.
