When is the best time of year to go SCUBA diving in the Galapagos Islands?

The best time to go SCUBA diving in the Galapagos is from September to November when the water is clearest.  During these months, seal pups are abundant, booby, frigate and albatross chicks can be seen. However, also rougher seas can be present in these months.

From Novermber to April, the water is warmer and calmer which can be appealing to some divers.
