Коли їхати на Вісаї?
The best time to visit the Visayas region in the Philippines for diving would be outside the typhoon season and the rainiest months, which occur from late November through February.
Протягом цього періоду, особливо з грудня по лютий, східні Вісайї, включаючи Себу, Бохол і Лейте, відчувають вологий клімат через сезон Аміхан (північно-східний мусон), що приносить сильні дощі, що особливо впливає на місця для дайвінгу в Південному Лейте. Тайфуни також поширені з листопада по січень, особливо впливають на Лейте та північну частину Себу.
The waters can get rough during either the northeast or southwest monsoon (Habagat) as winds stir up the waves, potentially affecting the diving conditions. However, it's mentioned that dive trips are still recommended year-round as dive operators are knowledgeable about the seasonal variations and can guide divers to sheltered areas offering great diving experiences despite the prevailing weather conditions.
Для більш передбачуваного та приємного дайвінгу ідеальним варіантом може бути планування візиту в період з березня по початок листопада. Зокрема, деякі лайфборди переносять свої операції на Туббатаха з березня по червень, скориставшись коротшим сезоном дайвінгу там, що також свідчить про те, що цей період сприятливий для дайвінгу в регіоні Вісайя.
