My wife and I are heading to San Andres, Colombia this weekend and wondering what suit to take, any input about current water temps would be appreciated.

I was there in January and February a few years ago. Temps were in the mid 70s and I wore a 3mm full suit. There were many divers wearing 3mm shorties and lots or casual divers in shorts and t shirts. I dont know about the temperature now, but the web site I checked said 83f today.
 
How was the scuba trip to San Andres Island? Looking to go there in early January with my two teen boys. Very experienced divers. Indonesia, Philippines, Thailand.
 
David,

My suggestion would be to go from San Andres to Providencia. I haven't personally been diving in San Andres, but in the research I did for my recent trip, I heard that the diving in Providencia is better. It's about a 30 minute plane flight from one to the other.

We stopped in San Andres both ways and it was definitely more commercial and developed. Providencia is delightfully smaller and more quiet.

I have a trip report posted here.

Agreed. Somehow I got my islands mixed up late when posting. Providencia is the target island for for all the reasons mentioned. The review posted on CHUM is a terrific read. Very helpful.
 
Feel free to send me a PM if you have any specific questions. Have a great trip!
