February and September offer the most reliable visibility, so if you can choose your timing, aim for those months. The on-site dive shop can arrange guided tours, which is genuinely worthwhile here given how easy it is to swim past the small critters without a knowledgeable guide pointing them out.
Typically accessed directly from the beach in Tulamben.
