There is a selection of dive operations on most of the islands although the best way to dive the islands is from live-aboard charter boat. Diving is possible throughout the year but the best times are March to May and September to November when the prevailing winds are at their mildest and visibility at its best. Visibility is generally over 100 feet (30m) and water temperatures are often at 80F (29C). Divers can expect to see Whale Sharks, granite formations, soft and hard corals and Giant Stingrays, to name a few.
