Dive Conditions & Resources

Learn more about current dive conditions across Monterey Bay to help you in planning your dive. We recommend starting with the wind & swell and wave conditions at specific dive sites you have in mind. Next, utilize the tide tables to determine the best time to dive that day to maximize your conditions. Visibility is generally best during slack high tide, though this is variable depending on the dive site. Local facebook groups also feature up-to-date information about conditions, visibility, and can be a great place to learn about the many dive sites in Monterey Bay.

While researching dive conditions helps you to plan your dives, please make sure to assess dive conditions upon your arrival at a site and only dive in conditions that you are trained to dive in. We encourage you to exercise caution.
