米蘇爾島最佳潛水月份

大多數印尼船宿潛水之旅會在10月至隔年4月底期間前往米蘇爾島,不過也有少數船隻全年營運。巴布亞省有兩個雨季-11月至12月和7月至8月,但11月和12月期間,米蘇爾島的潛水活動不受影響。 7月至9月初,強烈風暴雨天氣會導致海面波濤洶湧,而米蘇爾島唯一的度假村也會因此關閉。

除此之外,海水溫度基本上保持穩定,5月至10月期間約為攝氏27度/80.6華氏度,11月至隔年4月期間約為攝氏27度/86華氏度。若想增加觀賞大型遠洋魚類和蝠鱝的機會,建議在9月和10月前往米蘇爾島,屆時會有成群的餌魚抵達。 5月和6月的南風會帶來更多鯊魚,而11月以及隔年2月至隔年3月期間的能見度通常最佳。
