Advice on Wakatobi shore diving ....

[highdesert]

We're there on 10/19, and the water temp is supposedly on the rise this time of year. I'm going with a 3mm full suit, but I've got a 2.5mm vest to go under it and a 3mm beanie, plus booties. I was comfortable at 78 degrees in Belize 3x a day in January; I think I should be in OK shape (I hope).

As far as the shore entries, I'd actually rather dive my full foot split fins with neoprene socks; from everything I've head, that should be adequate.

Thanks for the information! Glad I don't have to buy boots and new fins

Would love to hear some info on the dive profiles etc...a 70 minute dive isn't very long

They ask you to stick to 70 minute dives only for the boat dives. When you are on a shore dive, you take whatever time you like. Just let the staff know what your plans are.
