Australia
The Great Barrier Reef is a year-round diving destination but May offers some spectacular visibility, with calm flat seas and warm water. This month means the wet season is coming to an end, and the dwarf minke whale migration is just starting and will continue for a couple of months. During this time the boats offer some unique itineraries to view these amazing creatures and snorkel with them in their natural environment. Joining a cruise in May also has the advantage of fewer divers as it is the transition month to the high season with some great offers.

May marks the start of the southwest season in the Maldives, and this means manta madness. The water temperature does drop a couple of degrees, resulting in hammerhead sharks and grey reef sharks congregating in larger numbers. The visibility may be slightly reduced, but the manta rays and pelagic life more than make up for this.

This is the last month of the Socorro cruises with the giant Pacific manta rays as the temperature increases. This does, unfortunately, mean the humpback whales and dolphins are no longer present as they move to cooler waters.
