Weather The summer season has started here with good weather: an occasional rain shower, but lots of sun and nearly no wind, excellent diving or beach weather. At the moment it is nice and calm; sunny during the day with maybe a rain shower, there is a light breeze, the seas are calm.
The diving is very nice at the moment, with quite lots of ghost pipe fish, frogfish and seahorses at Shark Point, Bida Islands and Koh Doc Mai. Also plenty of sharks in the area, both leopard sharks and black tips at the Bida islands, lots of jacks, and the manta rays have returned to Koh Bon.
Temperatures of appx. 33 degrees Celsius (95 Fahrenheit), sea temperatures of 29 degrees Celsius (84 Fahrenheit).
