Dived year-round; summer named best. The source does not define 'summer' month by month: Jun–Aug is shown as best, all other months as good because diving is possible all year. Diver reports on taucher.net give ~3–4 °C in April, so winter/spring dives need a drysuit (PADI recommends Dry Suit Diver).
