When to dive in Goa
 
The best time to go diving in Goa is from October to May, when the weather is dry, seas are calm, and visibility is at its best, reaching up to 10-15 meters. During these months, water temperatures range from 26°C to 30°C, making it comfortable for divers of all levels. The monsoon season (June to September) brings rough seas, poor visibility, and limited dive site access, making it less ideal for underwater exploration. For the best marine life encounters, including rays, turtles, and schools of fish, plan your trip during the dry season when diving conditions are perfect for exploring Goa’s coral reefs and wrecks.
