Hi folks,
We are going to do a liveaboard trip to Sudan Deep South / Suakin with Royal Evolution in a few weeks. I'm starting to plan what to bring. Can anyone give me an idea of the water temperatures currently being experienced down in that area? If there is no data for Sudan even knowing conditions of southern Egypt - like around Fury Shoal, St. John - would help. Please no one cite published Average Temperatures for April / May - I already know those - I would like to know the actuals being experienced this year.
I'm very conscious about weight limits with the airlines, so I want to bring only 1 wetsuit. Will it need to be a 5mm or can I get away with a 3mm?
Also speaking of weight limits, I'm also considering leaving my heavy jetfins at home and just bringing some average Scubapro fins (non split fin). My jetfins handle current much better but I could use the 3 lbs I'd save for other things. Any opinions on how important good fins are for diving the Deep South / Suakin itinerary?
Thanks!!
