Scuba diving in Cameroon

Cameroon enjoys a tropical climate, with warm waters ranging from 77°F to 82°F (25°C to 28°C) year-round. The best time to dive is during the dry season, from November to March, when visibility is at its best. The wet season, which runs from April to October, can see reduced visibility and occasionally rougher sea conditions.

Cameroon's waters teem with a diverse range of marine species. Divers can expect sightings of colorful reef fish, sea turtles, and various species of rays. Larger pelagic fish such as barracudas and groupers are also frequent visitors. The coral formations, although not as expansive as in other global diving destinations, are vibrant and home to many smaller marine critters.

For divers seeking a unique and less-traveled destination, Cameroon offers a blend of cultural richness and underwater wonders. Its coastal waters, brimming with life and unspoiled landscapes, provide a serene backdrop for both new and experienced divers to explore the mysteries of the deep.
