Best time to dive?
Diving season depends on location: August to February is the best time at the Pacific shoreline, whereas the Yucatan ensures the best underwater adventures from March through August. Diving conditions are also impacted by the plankton bloom that occurs between April and May, as well as between September and October. Moreover, May to September is hurricane season. Therefore, the optimal choice would be November to March. Info source by rove.me
