There's not much in the way of warm water diving, assuming you are talking about tropical conditiions, in Europe in May/June unless you are willing to fly to Malta or southern Spain perhaps. Even then the water temps are still in the low to middle 70's. On the other hand, if this is your first trip to Europe, May/June is a great time of year to visit. And if you don't mind diving in a thicker suit or better yet, dry, you'll find lot's of places to dive.
Hi, I don't know what do you mean by travelling a bit, but if jou can reach south france/north italy or croatia(8-10hours by car), you could find decent dive sites in warm water (almost warm...)
In the picture I include you find
-zone 1: south france and north-west italy --- water is 15-20 Celsius (have to check)good viz, quite a lot of fish nothing too colored but already something big, some wrecks, from small boats to huge tankers.
This is an excellent DC near Porto Fino, some km from Genova http://www.europeandc.com/
If wanna go for a tour on the haven one of the biggest wrecks in the mediterranenean sea try this http://www.techdive.it/ nice people they are between italy and france near Ventimiglia
-zone 2: croatia, better prices but more or less the same conditions, also here some big wrecks like Baron Gautsch http://www.diving.hr/ here you find every DC in croatia
Also sardinia is very nice to dive
The cross is where I live but there is only cold and murky lakes...
If need more info feel free to pm me
Have a nice time in Eu
but the Red Sea and the Canary Islands should have warm water - should be able to get a real good deal on the Red Sea as I think numbers are well down....
The Red Sea is definitely the place to go, right before the Summer crowd, about fours hours away from Germany. The Red Sea is considered one of the best spots in the world and a favorite diving destinations for Europeans.
What about Cyprus, here in the North of the island the temp is currently 19 degrees, would expect it to be 24 ish when you are planning. Scuba Diving in North Cyprus
Vacationing in Europe,starting in Germany willing to travel a bit but looking for a nice warm water dive end of May. Any suggestions?
If your looking for warm water you need to travel a lot further south!
