The DivingCalendarGuide calendar will help you to plan your vacations as you will be able to consult the most favorable marine fauna to spot in the world according to the month of the year! There are 12 different maps, one for each month in which the silhouettes of the different marine species are illustrated.
In addition, they are a nice decorative element that will remind you of your vacations around the world.
First of all, let me thank you for visiting our website, we always love to serve the people who come to us and put all our efforts to satisfy your curiosities and provide all the information you need.
If you have arrived here, we deduce that it is because we have in common the interest and love for the world of scuba diving and we are fascinated by marine life, and our great dream is to be able to personally experience in situ the fabulous creatures that inhabit this environment still so unknown to mankind. And if you have come for another interest, you are equally welcome!
The DivingCalendarGuide calendar is composed of 12 sheets of 94.6 x 42.7 cm each, made of 200gr/m2 cardboard, with a resolution of 11.8 x 11.8 pixels/mm, with RGB colors.
It is an annual calendar that in each month shows a map of the world and in it are represented the silhouettes of the species of marine fauna most appreciated by divers, and the most known and popular.
These silhouettes have been placed according to the species and its distribution, depending on its presence or not, in that place of the map and in that month of the year we are consulting. For example, if we are in the month of June and we look at South Africa we will see that in Port St. John we can see that in Port St. Kitts and Nevis we can see a lot of people. At St. John's we find, among others, the silhouette of a school of sardines representing the annual migration of these fish along the east coast of South Africa from south to north. In the month of July we will still see this silhouette because this phenomenon is still occurring, but from the month of August onwards it stops appearing as the migration has concluded and there is no longer the presence of these sardines.
The number of fauna species represented is 111, with 176 different illustrations, and up to 146 different diving localities have been cited. For obvious reasons it is not possible to represent all the species or all the localities that exist, since there are thousands of them. Each geographical area has its own complexity and variety of species, so we have chosen to show the most common, most likely to be found, and the most appreciated by divers. We have represented the fauna that can be found while scuba diving, as well as doing other aquatic activities such as whale watching, kayaking, paddle surfing, snorkeling, etc. We have also avoided the species that are usually present throughout the year and that are related to the type of ecosystem visited, i.e., if for example what we are going to visit is a reef in tropical waters, we will most likely find an anemone with clown fish in it whatever the month of the year, for this reason we have not found it necessary to represent the silhouette of the clown fish in the calendars.
On other occasions, in places like the Philippines and Indonesia, which are tropical seas with many interesting fauna creatures, much appreciated by divers who go in search of tiny species, but of extraordinary beauty and lovers of macro photography, being species that are normally found throughout the year, as they are not migratory and live linked to a type of ecosystem, we have chosen to represent them by other factors such as weather. Such cases are for example Raja Ampat, where liveaboard operators usually work only in the best weather conditions between the months of October to April. Or as is the case of Lembeh, Manado and Bunaken, where the best time is the dry season from May to October, although in Lembeh the months of August and September may be closed due to strong winds, and the rainy season in these areas is between November and April.
There are many different particularities in each area and many factors to take into account in order to predict an encounter of this marine fauna, so it is not a certain science and the movements of these animals in the wild are totally unpredictable, so we have to take these calendars as a guideline, it is a tool that will help us to increase the chances of success of having these encounters, but in no case will be 100% guaranteed.
In any case from DivingCalendarGuide we are open to hear your comments and experiences, and in case you identify any data that does not correspond to reality or have reliable information of other marine wildlife encounter events and would like them to be illustrated in our calendars, please do not hesitate to notify us in our contact section. They will always be appreciated by us.
DivingCalendarGuide was born because of the experiences we encountered every time we had the purpose of making a trip to dive in the best dive sites in the world or in search of some of the most fascinating species of marine fauna.
Before making such a trip, it is best to be sure to go at the right time to have the best chance of finding the wildlife we are looking for, and also in the best season to avoid encountering adverse weather conditions. Unfortunately, neither of these two things are certain, nor are they one hundred percent predictable, but the probabilities of success are greatly increased when these concepts are taken into consideration.
Knowing all this ends up taking us with a huge work of searching for information, and spending hours and hours in front of the computer, and reading a lot of articles, and going through dozens and dozens of websites to contrast the information.
Well then! What we wanted to do from here is to facilitate all this work and all this search for information we have already done, to streamline a little bit all the tasks involved whenever we want to organize a trip. And for this we have created our calendars in which we try to capture all this information in the best possible way, so that at a glance we can verify that we chose a good destination and a good season to meet the desired objectives.
The DivingCalendarGuide calendars consist of a map of the world for each month of the year, and in each map we have inserted the images of the marine fauna, in the corresponding areas, where their presence has the highest probability of being found according to their distribution and month of the year, and according to the information gathered in our search which has been contrasted many times with local operators and previous experiences.
The use of the calendars is simple, let's give an example: "We have a vacation in June and we want to see silky sharks", it is as easy as going to the map of the month of June and looking for the image of the silky shark, and we will find, for example, that on the island of Malpelo, in Colombia, there are congregations of hundreds of these sharks at this time of the year!
So, I hope you like the calendars and find them interesting and that you can enjoy them and keep them, for example, as a nice decorative element that will always remind you of the wonderful days of your vacations.
