This years winter water at depth temps are...?

[maniago]

Headed the Nassau end of Feb, first time. I get cold and we're killing Lionfish so about 16 dives in 4 days possible. I normally use my 8/7 semi for anything consistently lower than 75, and my 5 for anything above up to 90. Looks like we'll be doing mostly shallows ~60' and less on nitrox.

Anyone got this years experience with water temps?

Thanks

Couldn't say. I wear nylon football (soccer) shorts and a nylon T from 75° F up. I can not even imagine getting into a 5mm, let alone an 8mm wetsuit in the tropical heat. I'd be poached long before I got into the water. If the water was 70° F or below I'd use a 2.5mm shorty or a Henderson Polyolefin full suit (equiv to 2mm)

I am heading there mid February and am expecting water temps between 72-75. I will be doing 3-4 dives per day and am taking a 3mm suit for the trip.

If you feel the cold you may want your 7mm. Enjoy your trip.
