When to go
For a mixed diving and non-diving visit, June to August is the easiest overall target: warmer weather, measured seasonal bathing-water warmth and more summer services.
Best overall window
Longer, warmer visitor season; major annual events and expanded summer services, but exposed sea conditions still vary.
Outside that window
Winter and early-spring cold, shorter days and more demanding weather. Local club activity exists but tourist water outings need direct arrangement.
Start with the overall answer, then switch only when scuba, freedive, snorkel, or topside timing changes the trip in a meaningful way.
