Trinidad and Tobago Water Environment

Hey Everyone, 
So alot of tourist always ask how should I pack to visit Trinidad and Tobago beaches. Well the water temperature is constant all year round from 26 to 29 degrees C (79 to 85 F).  In these conditions,  some people dive with a 1.5mm wetsuit and others don't wear anything.  However, if you want to remain in the water for several hours it is advised to wear a 3mm wetsuit.

The vissibility in Tobago is normally good with 20 to 25m (70 to 80ft) sometimes 30m (100ft).  Between the months of June and October, the water tends to get a little green with vissibility down to 12 to 15m (35 to 45ft). In Trinidad its very rare to get the water clear so please note. 

Depth range around Tobago is greatly variable.  There are lots of spots to choose from at 10m (30ft),  as well as excellent grounds between 18 and 25m (60 to 80ft) and some nice spots at 30m (100ft) and deeper if interested.  

The wind is constant all year round.  However, August and September are the calmest months of the year providing flat seas almost every d
ay, while December and January are very windy making conditions a bit challenging suitable only for advanced spearos.
