Question 3

When is the best time to dive in Tasmania?

Accepted Answer

Based on site conditions data, Tasmania sites dive best when: Light westerly to south-westerly — SV-Anui explicitly confirms Stanley offers good protection except in easterly conditions; westerly winds are offshore from the peninsula keeping East Inlet calm. Swell under 0.5m, incoming tide for best visibility through the tidal neck. Best Oct–May for the snotty trevally run; year-round for resident species.; Light northerly to north-easterly — the eastern shore of Rocky Cape is explicitly confirmed as sheltered from westerly weather by the cape headland mass; northerly and north-easterly winds blowing across from Bass Strait keep the eastern face calm. Swell under 0.5m, high tide recommended for best access across the long shallow weed beds to the reef. Best Jan–Apr in settled conditions.. Conditions vary significantly between regions — use VisPro Dive's live Divability Score to find the best window for your specific site.
