When do you go diving?

Turbonarian · May 11, 2003

I would like to know, in general, at what time of the year would you prefer to go on a dive trip, say may be a week away in Thailand.

Do you usually go during extended holidays like Xmas and New Year or just whenever?

most of my diving is local so it is whenever I have time and a buddy

I would first decide where I want to go, then find out the best season to go there. While temp might not be a consideration, most places have differences in tides, vis, maybe even migration of wildlife. A little research can pay off big time.

Married with an infant should say it all.

Right now my diving is limited to our annual vacation. I have a fixed week timeshare, so that generally dictates the time of year that I go. I do have the ability to trade and request another week in a different location. Since my S/O doesn't dive, I don't plan any diving-oriented vacations.

Maybe I'll buddy up with scuberd for a few weekend dives, if he'll keep the pace slow enough for a new diver and an old man twice his age.

South of the Equator the seasons are opposite the Northern Exposure. Our Winter is their Summer, their Spring is our Fall. Check your vacation schedule and see what the weather will be like generally in the place you want to go. I like to go South like Austraila, South America, etc. in the winter. It's warm and sunny way down south.

I can get. I don't care (too much) where, when, or how. I am pretty determined to get in the water.

I am still trying to figure out if this is a good thing, or something I might need to be concerned about.....LOL

Jury's still out.

Peter,

I'm not married, but I am the single dad of a 16 month old daughter. But, I lucked out, I've a long time friend who's my room mate who doesn't dive and she babysits for me while I go diving or to my ITC classes, work, whatever. Nothing beats a FREE nanny! (Of which I take full advantage of that resource!)
