Winter period (December to end of April) is not an ideal time for snorkeling due to low water level.
In winter period, you will not see many fish, corals...because sea water is not very clear due to weather.
If you expect a less touristy and pristine beach , then Summer time (June, July, August) is not a perfect option for you. Many Vietmamese, especially shool students go here everyday. So it is crowded and chaotic sometimes at the speed boat station and on the beach.
The perfect time to go here are months September, October, November of the year.
