Italy sits in the Mediterranean, between the Adriatic and the Tyrrhennian Seas. There are some top diving sites, not least around the islands of Sardinia, Ustica and Ischia.
Water temperatures around Italy range from around 12 oC in February to 24 oC in August. In May it is still a cool 16 oC. July and August are high season. Avoid these months if at all possible: accommodation prices are often double. May, June and September are good months to go. The sea is warm in October (21 oC) but thunder storms possible.
