Best season for scuba diving

The best season for scuba diving in the Maldives is from November to April, which marks the dry season or “Northeast Monsoon.” During this time, the weather is calm, the sea conditions are stable, and underwater visibility can reach up to 30 meters—ideal for diving enthusiasts.

This season also brings in warm ocean currents that attract a wide variety of marine life. Divers have a high chance of spotting manta rays, whale sharks, reef sharks, sea turtles, and vibrant coral reefs teeming with tropical fish. Water temperatures stay pleasant, ranging between 27°C to 30°C, making every dive comfortable.

While diving is possible year-round in the Maldives, the dry season offers the clearest views and the best overall conditions. It’s the perfect window for both beginners and experienced divers to explore the underwater beauty the Maldives is famous for.
