Sorry Fab,
Not at all the same. It can rain non stop for days during the rainy season, which in the Bay Islands runs from November until early to mid February. Anyone saying anything else is wrong
However if the Hurricanes stay clear of us, we can expect a nice warm and reasonably dry time of it in August.
I've heard it time and time again, "I thought it would be just the same as everywhere else in the Caribbean. Two hours rain in the afternoon" Rainy season here means winter storms bringing rough seas to the Northern coasts and inches and inches of rain. I love the diving at that time of year, but I find it hard to keep my tan.
It rarely stops us from diving, but it certainly effects it
Between November and February you are playing Russian Roulette as far as sun is concerned. You WILL get to dive as much as you want, but don't bank on a tan. On the other hand you could get burned as hell in mid December. So bring the Sun Lotion and a rain coat.
