This time of year is the calm dry season. The water is usually calm, warm and clear. Its a good time for mantas, whale sharks, and large schoolsl of fish. If you want to snorkel and dive with large schools of mantas, whale sharks, and if you want to see huge schools of densely populated fish, then this is the trip for you. As seen in the picture, there are fish everywhere!
