I am curious...
I've been reading up about diving in Komodo Marine Park and it sounds like a pretty awesome trip. If I go I'm going to go onboard the Komodo Dancer Peter Hughes boat since it has a good reputation and is a reputable dive operator (lets not get into the Belize Wave Dancer discussion again, they've learned their lesson....).
From watching videos and also reading articles and books; the southern end of the dive area is said to have waters that are around 68-70 degrees (maybe less) and the northern section is said to have water temps around 85 degrees or so. What percentage of time on your past trips was spent at sites with cooler water temps versus the time spent at warmer water dive sites. I'm just trying to get a feel for what your experiences were. I like diving no matter what and if there is neat stuff to see I don't mind adding layers, but diving in just a rash guard and swim suit is alot more fun if the water is warm enough. I have a 3mm full suit and a 3mm shorty to put on top, would that be enough? Or is a hood an absolute must for the colder sites?
Thanks!
