*  January to April are considered the best months for diving.
*  May and June can have unstable weather, and odd cloudy days are possible until September.
*  October and November tend to have clearer weather, but visibility can be slightly reduced because of abundant plankton in the water that attracts the big fishes, good time for whale sharks.
*  December can have windy weather and rain.
