I prefer lower tides; as there would be less current and visibility would be much better. Depending on the timing, but in most of my dives, I had high tides starting at 11am, sometimes, 12pm, 1pm etc... and I noticed the visibility would considerably deteriorates... Therefore, best time would be in the early morning in term of lower tide, better viz, and less current as well.

For example: once in mid July, two of my buddies went to this place close to shore in Qatar. Sea was flat, there was no wind and everything seemed alright. They called me by around 11am to tell me that they had best visibility ever! You could see from 20m+ all the fish that were in the bottom of the seabed! By the time I arrived, which was around 2pm, high tide had started and visibility went down to less than 5m! When I saw the videos that they shot before, I couldnt believe my eyes of what I had just missed in 3hrs !
