Planning a vacation on island Hvar (Croatia) end of June, beginning of July. Want to go diving there, but have no idea what water temperature to expect. Would 5 mm wetsuite without gloves and a hood suffice? Please advise.
Current surface temps are 68 degrees Fahrenheit and are ususally around 71-73 in June and July. Sounds like the 5 mm will be fine. I'd bring the hood just in case esp for multiple dives in one day.
It depends. If you go to 30m or more, it's quite chilly, 16C, but a bit farther north. Last year I've used my 7mm semidry, hood and gloves and seriously think about taking my dry suit this year...
You are never wrong with taking dry suit to Croatia - during whole year. But you will be fine during summer with 5 or 7 mm wetsuit. Hood is a must though. Now I'm doing some courses (shallow depth) and I'm in 2 x 5mm wetsuit and it is fine. But for guiding I always take dry suit. On the other hand I dive in dry suit in Egypt during winter (20 - 21 C) as well :P
What Wetsuit for Hvar, Croatia End of June?
