Pretrip Ritual! Looking for a recent water temp on Turneffe Island area.

[Stoo]

I was at Huracan Diving two weeks ago, which is another 20 miles out or so. Water temp was in the 82F range. I wore either a 3mm full suit, or a 3mm hooded vest and shorts. (Mostly the latter.)

Mrs. Stoo is a whomping 100# soaking wet, and wore a 5mm full suit with a 3mm hood. And was toasty.

Having said that, last year, there was a bit of a cold front hanging about, and little sun. The water temp was about 79-80, which feels a lot colder than it sounds. I wore a 3mm suit, with a 3mm vest and was fine... (Bear in mind, I dive in Tobermory all the time... this is actually where cold water was invented, so I take staying warm seriously!)

Hope this helps... But my recommendation is take both, and adjust as you see fit.

We are heading to Turneffe Island Resort on Friday (April 11). Does anyone have a recent water temp for the Turneffe Atoll?

As I said in the post above, the temp at Long Caye was about 82. That's about 20 miles away... It will be about the same at Turneffe... it's all the same water!
