When to dive in Wales

The main diving months in Wales are from April to October, when water temperatures and visibility are at their best. However, experienced divers can explore Welsh waters all year with a drysuit, hood, and gloves for colder conditions. Water temperatures range from about 4°C (39°F) in spring to 14°C (57°F) in late summer. The summer and early autumn months offer calmer seas and warmer waters, perfect for discovering reefs, wrecks, and marine life. Whether diving in spring or autumn, Wales provides excellent cold water diving opportunities for all levels.
