It's usually low to mid 70's surface and about 60 degrees at 40' - 50' gets colder as you go into the trench. I dive a 5mil with hood and gloves there and only dive from Mid-June - early October.

Hope that helps.

Dove last weekend and those temps are about right. I was diving dry (my first drysuite dive!) and felt toasty warm, but I could tell by the feel on exposed skin that a 5 ml with a hood and gloves would be required. You could get by with less if you stayed real shallow, but whats the fun in that?
