    The best time of year to dive in Israel depends on your personal preferences and diving goals. The Mediterranean Sea, which surrounds Israel, has a temperate climate with hot, dry summers and mild, wet winters.

    In the summer months (June to August), the water temperature in the Mediterranean can reach up to 26-28°C (79-82°F), which is comfortable for diving without a wetsuit. The visibility is also generally good during this time, with clear blue waters and plenty of marine life to observe.

    The winter months (December to March) can also be a good time to dive in Israel, as the water temperature is cooler (around 18-20°C or 64-68°F) and requires a wetsuit. The cooler water can attract a different variety of marine life, such as whale sharks and hammerhead sharks, which are not typically seen during the warmer months. The visibility may not be as clear as in the summer, but the cooler water and unique marine life can make for an interesting diving experience.

    Overall, the best time to dive in Israel will depend on your personal preferences and diving goals. If you prefer warm water and good visibility, the summer months may be the best time for you to visit. If you are interested in seeing a different variety of marine life and don’t mind cooler water, the winter months may be a good option. It’s also worth considering the weather and overall climate during your visit, as this can affect your diving experience.
