Current Marsa Alam water temp?

full fin · Oct 4, 2010

Hi, anyone know what the current water temperature in the Marsa Alam area is (Coraya Beach to be exact)?

I'll be diving next week and am hoping its worthwhile to bring my comfortable shorty...

Anybody know any water temps for mid to southern egypt?

Some non-local websites quote 29C as the current temp, but I think they may be inaccurate, especially given the historic norms are so much lower.

Was there about a week ago on a live aboard trip. Temps were consistently 30-31 from Marsa Alam and southwards. Hurghada area was 28.

Great thanks. Interesting that Hurghada is several degrees colder though is only a little bit north of Marsa Alam.

It's 300km north or so. Marsa Alam was 30, as I recall, and we got up to 31 down by St. Johns which is further south.

Is there somewhere that we can check current water temps around Sharm El Sheikh as well? If any of you know, that would be helpful, thanks.

I will be diving Marsa Alam the first week in December. What is the recommendation for an environmental suit? Some of my group were thinking of bringing dry suits. I was hoping a full 3 mm suit would be fine with booties and a light hood just in case. However, it has to be warmer than Canada. I was diving in British Columbia last week and the water temp was 45F.

Also are they using DIN values?
Thanks,
Shane

Both DIN and YOKE are available.
