When to dive Port Blair

The best time for scuba diving in Port Blair is from November to May, when the seas are calm, skies are clear, and underwater visibility is at its best. This dry season offers ideal conditions for exploring coral reefs, spotting marine life, and enjoying safe dives at popular sites like Corbyn’s Cove and Snake Island. Water temperatures range between 26°C and 30°C, perfect for diving without heavy wetsuits. While October and May can still offer good diving, weather may be less predictable. The monsoon season (June to September) brings rough seas and low visibility, making it unsuitable for most dive activities. Plan your trip during the peak season for the best scuba diving experience in Port Blair.
