Planning your dive
It’s possible to dive year-round in Hong Kong, but for the best experience, try to head out during the diving season from June to November, as visibility is the best during these months. However, the waters can reach up to 23 degrees Celsius during the hot summer months, so if you would rather have a cooler dive, plan to go later in the season (October is the golden month!).
Of course, natural hazards always exist, and particularly notable is the overlap of typhoon season with the diving season, so be careful and heed warnings of bad weather—especially if there’s a typhoon warning. Other necessities to diving such as scuba gear and boat hire, are also readily available around Hong Kong.
While you may think that your diving adventures have to be scheduled far afield, there are actually some gorgeous dive sites right here in Hong Kong. So stop pondering about, get yourself some scuba diving lessons, and start planning your underwater adventures now!
