When it comes to sea conditions, many people make the mistake of comparing a dive charter to a fishing charter. The heavy gear and fact that you have to enter and exit the boat from the water make sea conditions even more important to carefully consider before taking a dive trip.

This page offers general sea state observations. Of course on the ocean anything can happen at any time. Your Captain should be watching for changes in the weather in all forecasted conditions. A good Captain will give realistic recommendations and gladly call off a trip in questionable or, of course, dangerous conditions.

Conditions the days before, and wind direction can greatly impact the actual sea conditions.

5-10 Knot Winds - Very calm seas are generally flat.
Perfect day

10 Knot winds - Calm seas and generally flat or 1-2 foot seas. 
Very good day.

10-15 knot winds - Can be from very nice to rough.

15 knot winds - Rough to very rough.
Only experienced divers should go out in these conditions.

15-20 knot winds - Almost never recommended and generally considered unsafe.

Unfortunately some dive shops will take you out on almost any day, regardless of the weather. 
 
In the Keys we are blessed with great weather and fair seas, most of the time. At Endless Summer, we do not believe that diving is a sport to prove how tough you are. Almost all dive accidents are caused by diver error.
You should always do your best to dive in the best possible conditions.


Our best dive season is summer but winter is very nice as well.  Winter water temps only fall to the low 70's but it is
windy more often.
