Kind of an individual answer. The charters run year round, but the boats REALLY thin out December through about March/April. Through the winter months you can count on low 70's and high 60's based on my personal experience. For the last two years I have dove a 1mm year round. I got cold a few times last winter, but once I bought a binnie for my head I never had problems again. Although, I am considering setting up to a 3mm or 5mm. From what I remember, visibility is never great. Usually around 30 feet on average.

Although, one really nice advantage is that the boats ARE NOT crowded! Instead on trying to gear up with 20 other people around you, you might have 5 or 6 other people. That alone I find MUCH more enjoyable!

Other then that, I would just say you have to be a little more flexible with your schedule. During the summer you can count on almost EVERY weekend being great conditions. In the winter, I find myself making diving decisions on Friday

30 ft vis???? Hmmm I have not had that bad of vis in WP. I have had bad vis only since the hurricanes. Usually there is 100 ft vis. Sometimes there is a small layer of low vis until you get past 30 ft then it opens up.
