Atlantic ocean     
The Atlantic Ocean is the colder of the two oceans. Temperatures are usually between 10 - 14 degrees Centigrade. The visibility is unfortunately at its best when the water is freezing - so be prepared. This will definitely affect your dive times and air consumption.

Despite the temperature it is well worth diving this ocean because it does hold some spectacular dives and the wreck diving is particularly good. The kelp forests make for very beautiful scenery and its worth trying a night dive to fully appreciate the magical feeling of floating through an underwater forest.
