thats bath water
Yes. The Maldives and indeed the Indian ocean stays at about 87 all year long. But that's nothing. In the summer off the coast of the UAE where I dive the water gets really warm in the summer. Generally about 91- 95F on the surface. Last year off Dubai the water was still 97 at 100 ft down. When the air temp is 120F it still feels "refreshing"

NO! Just left late sunday. Warmest temperature read at surface was 82 but for the most part was 80 and lower. I'd left my chillguard behind believing water temps would be 84. Was quite cold more than once. Winds hadn't died down and there was lots of shivering and a little cursing after reboarding the dhonni.
