Best Time to Dive in Europe

The summer months are generally the best time to dive in Europe, with warmer waters and calmer surface conditions. While it is possible to dive in certain places all year round, be mindful that the diving can sometimes be limited, and that water temperatures are much lower - be ready to don a dry suit if you're thinking of diving in certain European spots in the winter months! See below for our country-specific recommendations of when to dive where.
