Winter months (November to March) bring larger swells, especially to the north shore, making diving more challenging, but sites on the south shore, like Sheraton Caverns, remain accessible. Water temperatures range from 74–80°F (23–27°C) year-round, allowing for comfortable dives. Winter also offers the chance to hear humpback whales singing underwater.
