If you can choose, the north-east monsoon from about December to April usually brings calmer seas, more sunshine and the best visibility, and it overlaps with the seasons of hammerheads, whale sharks and oceanic manta rays.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Month by month<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table dd-table\"><table><thead><tr><th>Months<\/th><th>Weather<\/th><th>Highlights<\/th><\/tr><\/thead><tbody><tr><td>December \u2013 February<\/td><td>Dry season, calmer sea<\/td><td>Tiger sharks, hammerheads, threshers, first whale sharks<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>March \u2013 April<\/td><td>Hot and mostly calm, best visibility<\/td><td>Tiger sharks, oceanic manta rays, whale sharks, hammerheads<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>May<\/td><td>Change of monsoon<\/td><td>Tiger sharks, oceanic manta rays, whale sharks<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>June \u2013 September<\/td><td>South-west monsoon: more wind and rain<\/td><td>Tiger sharks, thresher sharks<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>October \u2013 November<\/td><td>Variable, improving<\/td><td>Tiger sharks, threshers at their peak, first hammerheads<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Seasons are a guide, never a guarantee.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Species calendar<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list is-style-check\">\n<li><strong>Tiger sharks<\/strong>: all year.<\/li>\n\n<li><strong>Thresher sharks<\/strong>: all year, most often from October to December.<\/li>\n\n<li><strong>Scalloped hammerheads<\/strong>: October to April.<\/li>\n\n<li><strong>Whale sharks<\/strong>: January to May.<\/li>\n\n<li><strong>Oceanic manta rays<\/strong>: March to May.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Water and visibility<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The water stays warm all year, at about 27\u201330 \u00b0C. Visibility is often 20\u201340 metres and can be even better in the dry season; during the south-west monsoon it can drop, and some days the sea is too rough for certain sites.
