    This weekend and next weekend South FLA recomendations? Feb 10-20

    I am flying down with work this weekend, and the following weekend. I was hoping to maybe get in some diving, if the conditions are decent. I am from the great lakes, and am ok with cooler water, but don't want to be uncomfortable.

    Is anyone diving with only full 3mm at this time? I rather not bring out the thick suit.

    Are the conditions around Ft Lauderdale, or the Keys better?

    Thanks so much for the help

    I'm diving with a 3mm full and will be down at Looe Key Resort (1/2 hr or so from Key West) the 17-19. a 3mm should be okay. Lots of places to shore dive or boat trip. Supposed to fairly flat in ft lauderdale on saturday but 3+ swells on sunday

    Current conditions on Molasses Reef in Key Largo:
    NDBC - Station MLRF1

    Right now I am wearing a 5mm, but I see lots of folks with a 3mm. I was wearing a 3mm until last week, when I bought the 5mm.
    Water last night was 75, and the same today. Might want to wear a hood or hooded vest if you are prone to getting chilled. Also depends on how many dives you are going to do while you are here. If you are doing 4 dives a day, might want to opt for a hooded vest under your 3mm.

    Report has a cold front coming through the Keys this weekend, so it might be a bit cooler for a few days.
