April through October typically provides the most consistent diving conditions with warmer water temperatures ranging from 75-85°F, making it comfortable for extended exploration. For the best experience, plan your dive during weekdays or early mornings to avoid weekend crowds. Water entry at Butler Beach is relatively straightforward with a gentle slope, making it suitable for divers of various experience levels. Don't forget to bring sun protection for before and after your dive, as Florida's sun can be intense even on overcast days.
