May 2011-2010-2009-2008

May 2011 was a nice and sunny month with excellent diving conditions. We had 29 days which were at least partly sunny. On some of those days a bit of rain, very refreshing, and only 2 overcast days.
It was cooled than the extreme warm 2010. The corals, that were bleached in May 2010, are recovering fast with the water temperature staying at approximately 29 degrees centigrade.
On two days we were not able to dive in the Shark Point area, all other destinations were possible every day of the week.
