No boat, we will be at Misool Eco for the holidays.

Good to hear about the diving ease in RA. Does anyone know what wetsuit is recommended for Dec 2015? The dive boat is saying a full 3mm with hood. But the water temps seem hot (80F+). Is a full 3/2mm too warm? Would a shorty be better?

See my response to your question on the other thread.

Make sure you know how to deploy the smb.

At depth, I assume you mean.

Since RA has muck diving I would say full body coverage is a good call because then you have protection against some of the lovely poisonous critters inhabiting the muck. Personally I have always worn a 5 mm in Indonesia. But I am prone to being cold and repeated dives make me even more so. So I would suggest layering.

I am going to RA in December also! But as it is my first trip to RA specifically take my advice with a grain of salt.
