Ambergris Cayes water temperature for divers
Today’s water temperature is 82F. or 27.7 Degrees Celsius
Celsius to Fahrenheit
Step 1. Multiply the Celsius temperature by 1.8.
Step 2. Add 32. An example:
• 30ºC = (30 x 1.8) + 32 = 86ºF
Fahrenheit to Celsius
Step 1. Subtract 32 from the Fahrenheit temperature.
Step 2. Divide by 1.8. An example:
• 74ºF = (74 - 32) / 1.8 = 23ºC
The dry season runs from March through May. The most predictably good weather for diving is from April through June, when the winds are normally light. Hurricanes hit Belize an average of once every six years. During winter months (mainly December, January, and February), Belize is also subject to northerners that blow down and disrupt diving for several days. Water temperature may dip as low as the 70s in the winter and reach as high as 85° in the summer.

Yay!!

Almost to warm. The corals like it better if its cooler!
and I expect it to drop a couple of degrees f. in December..
but still warm for divers.
Great article in the San Pedro Sun this week about the corals of our reef and bleaching.

Seashell, Yesterday the divers came back reporting 81degrees f.
It changes slowly and not day to day . 81f. is good the corals don't need any warmer than that.

And that is warm enough for me also. But low 70's, brrrrrrrr

Thanks for this Elbert.

With all the cold weather we've had lately the temperature of the water has only gone down one degree. 80 degrees f. yesterday and I think that's better for the corals.
The air temp. seems to have a slow effect on the water at depth.

December 6th 81 f.

Thanks for the info. Water's warmer than the air today?

Elbert, are you taking the water temps only just under the surface? Sure, 80-81 upon entry, but most of my dives were running 75-78 . . .brrrrr . . .I was cold on this trip. All that said, wish I was still there.

Its at depth and I'll let you know what it says after the morning dive Saturday.

OK, thanks.

All the cool air has brought the water temperature down to 79f.and 78f.
It takes a long time for the water temp to change but the persistent cold air has it a little cooler.
Divers are wearing shorties and some long wet suits.

Thanks for the update

What is the current water temp?

Still 79f. Its slow to change and probably not going to this week with a cold snap on the way.

Summer is here and the water temperature is running 82-83F.
any warmer and we start to have problems with jelly blooms and stress on the corals.

August 1st and its 83f.
recent rains haven't cooled it much.
almost to warm.

Elbert, I hate to tell you this but.... its actually July 31st.

oops!

I always felt island time was different as well Elbert

Here is one for the record books. The divers returning just now reporting on their computers a Water Temp. at Hol Chan Today August 18th 2:pm is 88f..
It had a light outgoing current to help it.

That is pretty darned warm water.

Eek.

Manatee like cooler water and its been so warm in the bay and river that they have been retreating to the sea side of the reef.
Its a good time of year for spotting them in unusual places.

Took a snorkel trip to CC last week. Saw manatees for the first time up-close. Nice.

With the dead calm seas for the last two days we've developed a slight thermocline, normally its almost undetectable but the absence of wind has given us 84f. at the surface and 82 f. degrees at depth.

Several years back at Hol Chan - because the sea is so shallow and over bright yellow sand - the water tempature was 90 - like a hot bath - almost made me sick.
But the good news is that - as Elbert reports - it's usually about 82.

Its November now and the water is cooling especially with all the October rain, but still as far as cold water goes we just don't have it!
According to the DM's today's temp. at depth was 80f. surface was also 80f.
Still a shortie wet suit feels good and the boat ride back is chilly enough for a light jacket.

Its December and Ambergris Caye has had a week of cool weather. The Caribbean waters at the Barrier Reef have dropped to 78f./26c. still warm by most standards but chilly for the local divemasters but good for the corals.

Brrr . . . need my hood at that temp.

January's starting temperatures are 79-80f.
The visibility was 100'+ yesterday. The coolness of the water doesn't allow some plankton growth that effects visibility.

January 15th and the average water temp has been 81F. or 27. Degrees Celsius.
Rarely is there a thermocline, due to the tides and turbulence.

Woa! Spring has Sprung!
