    The best time of year to dive in Jamaica depends on your preferences and what you hope to see while diving. In general, the water temperature in Jamaica ranges from around 26°C (79°F) in the winter to around 29°C (84°F) in the summer, so the warmer months of April to November are typically the most popular for diving. During these months, the water is typically warm and clear, and there is a good variety of marine life to see.

    However, some people enjoy diving in the cooler months when the water is clearer and there is less boat traffic. In these cases, a wetsuit or a dive skin may be recommended to stay warm while diving.

    It’s important to note that the weather in Jamaica can be unpredictable, so it’s always a good idea to check the forecast and be prepared for changing conditions. Additionally, it’s worth considering the hurricane season in Jamaica, which runs from June to November, as this can affect diving conditions.
