South & west
Often the broadest window for southern and western beaches, reefs and coastal departures.
Aqua Compass
Begin with you—not a random list.
Choose the month, activity and the traveller question that is actually relevant. The Mini Compass uses the same Platform recommendations, conditions and Aqua Plan as the full experience.
Why the coast matters
The island changes with the monsoon.
The same month can bring rolling surf in one region, calm reef water in another and transitional conditions elsewhere.
East coast
Eastern bays and reefs often become the stronger seasonal choice while the southwest monsoon is active.
Keep a Plan B
March–April and October–November reward flexibility, local judgement and short-range checks.
Activities
Ocean moments that stay with you.
Choose an activity first or simply notice what draws you in. Each activity page explains suitability, support, season and destination fit.
Island Explorer
Choose a place. See how it fits.
The Mini Explorer uses the same destination coordinates, activity relationships, conditions service and Aqua Plan state as the full map.
Your way into the water
First breath through a regulator. First wave stood upright. Hundredth logged dive.
The right information changes with the experience. Choose reassurance, detail or both.
