The best months for divers to visit Coral Sea is between September and January since this is the less windy season at the region. Weather at Coral Sea is often very windy and it is not so unusual that boats have to change their itinerary due to it and avoid passing through this area. When this is the case and divers who approach Coral Sea can not reach to that point, they usually are taken to another close by diving area.
