Think about water temperature
Water temperature changes seasonally. If you are sensitive to cooler water, ask whether thermal gear is recommended for your travel dates.
Visibility is not fixed
Underwater visibility can vary with swell, wind, rainfall, plankton and local conditions. A season that is often popular does not guarantee clear water on your exact day.
Weather and access
Wind, surf and port or beach advisories can affect whether a tour operates. The operator may change the snorkeling location or cancel the water portion when conditions are unsuitable.
Match the season to your priorities
If you have a specific site in mind, ask a local operator about recent conditions and travel time. Keep an alternative activity available in case the water is not suitable.
