Hi All,

Great pics, good to know you had a fab time!

We're off to do much the same thing in March on Typhoon. Saw you were in wee-suits, sorry, wet-suits. How was the water temp? Did you have any issues getting chilly - on deco or towards the end of the week?

Seem to remember someone suggesting wearing a shorty under a steamer for warmth, any suggestions?

Cheers,

BB

The water was between 19 and 23 I got a little nippy after about 40 odd minutes not too bad and I'm, shall we say a bit of a skiny runt.
Definatly don't need a drysuit like some people are sugesting

By March you should be fine. It was just on the nippy side in a 5mm on the Rosaile Moller which seemed noticeably colder than anywhere else, and a 7mm or a drysuit would have been nice (although a bit

). A 3mm hood was good too, although by the time you get there hopefully not necessary. We had some 90 minute dives where I only got cool not cold. I think Beanie woudl have been fine had it not been for the excessive flushing ... good if you piss in your wetsuit a lot though!!

You need to put on weight! Another 8 or 9 stone, then your suit would fit properly: mine does!
