What are the diving seasons in Milne Bay and the corresponding water temperatures?
— Winter and summer seasons are the opposite from seasons in North America, so when it is winter here it is summer in PNG. Water temperatures vary from 79 to 84 degrees and warm water suits are usually sufficient for diving comfort. Diving seasons in Milne Bay do not vary as dramatically during the years as other locations though traditionally the months of August through December have been considered the dry season, though year round visibility and marine life seems to stay fairly consistent. The beginning of February can have westerly winds, which will affect the ability to get to some dive sites.
