Air/water temp?

[swimmer_spe]

During Jan/Feb, what is the air and water temperatures for shore dives?

My dive computer says the water was 75F today just north of Honokohau, Kona Coast. It will not change much, if at all, for January. Air? Anywhere between 75 and 85 depending on time of day, weather, and location.

Pretty much the same for Oahu..... maybe a degree or two cooler. Where are you diving swimmer_spe?

Bottom temp on Oahu has been 77-78 degrees F lately according to my computers, had to go past 270' to hit 75 degrees F. Last January/February/March I recorded a pretty constant 68 degrees F on dives here both shallow and deep.

Sorry.....

That wasn't clear. Which island? I assume Oahu by your previous post. North Shore will pretty much be wiped out due to surf. You may catch a day where it's flat but it won't really get good until April or May. Best options for winter shore dives are on West and South facing shores on Oahu. Just check the surf report before you go.....

Here's a link to a dive site map one of the DMs classes from Hawaii Scuba university published for Electric Beach (use the Black and White version) Easy access, great diving, very popular shore dive site on the island.
