Current water temps

Heading to Bonaire next weekend and am starting to pack so wondering what kind of water temps are ppl seeing down there right now?

Around 25 c. Bit colder than normaly i gues.

"The" website is showing 79....versus the 77 reported above. Well within the margin of error for dive computers and websites!

Thanks. Those were the kind of temps I was hoping to hear so I can go carry on only since a wetsuit won’t be needed

Brrr, if you are doing multiple dives per day, you might want to re think that and bring a suit.

I do 4-5 a day on liveaboard for 2-3 back to back trips and don’t get cold in those temps in just T-shirt and shorts. Granted I also go around outside all winter in a vest and short sleeves till it gets to -15 to -20C

79-81 according to my computer last week.

79-81 according to my computer last week.

I have three high-end computers, my wife has two. One of mine reads right on (compared to a Thermapen), one reads a degree F low, one reads 4 deg F low. Hers are +2 and -2, so she averages what she gets from both of them. The accuracy specs on dive computers are not very impressive, and my Shearwaters don't even give a specification for temperature accuracy!

That's about par for the accuracy course, IMHO.
