Diving Season in Krabi

Scuba diving in Krabi runs all year round from Ao Nang Beach, but the best conditions exist from November to April. Late May to October brings monsoon winds and surface swells, reducing visibility at the dive sites in Ao Nang by about 20%, but it is pretty rare that trips are cancelled due to bad weather.

Sea temperatures in the area remain reasonably constant from a high of 30°C in the dry season to a low of around 27°C in rainy season. The leopard shark is one of the signature creatures for fun divers in the Krabi region and can be spotted throughout the year.
