Dive Season As a result of Lombok’s close proximity to the equator, the weather conditions are typically tropical. Wintery weather is breezy and nice and summers are alleviated by refreshing precipitations.

The days are approximately 12 hours long and the typical daytime temperature differs from 27 degrees to 32 degrees. The dry season happens between May to September while the wet season occurs from October all through April.

Consequently, the best time to dive in Lombok is absolutely during dry season. Then again, you may want to take into consideration that rainfalls do not last long in the island of Lombok. The months of May, June and July are the peak season where tourists usually visit Lombok Island.
