Hi:
Booked a Truth Aquatics Southern Channel Islands for Aug. 2016. Hope it works out well! The issue of diving pretty often on a 5 day outing at a fairly cold water destination raises the question of exposure protection. Especially for those of us who aren't dry suit trained & not apt to get that way for a one-time trip.
I find various water temp. ranges for the region online, but not with depths for those temp.s from clearly reliable sources. In other words, yes, the water at the surface that floods your wetsuit when you stride in matters, but the water at 40 - 70 feet deep (just guessing the depth range likely often dove?) is where I imagine divers will spend most of their time.
So, particularly for August but also throughout the year, any thoughts on the rough average water temp.s at depth to expect in the Southern Channel Islands?
Thanks.
Richard.
