We will go on the bde tour for one week and 2 weeks in a hotel.
I read that june will be 26-28 degrees in the water. Which is fine in a 5mm i guess.

Whats your experience eith temperature in june? Do you think 5mm is not enough?

Does the temperature change a lot at depth? I heared, thats not really the case.

Thank you in advance! Its my first trip to Egypt :D
 
I think 5mm is more than enough. I would wear 3mm myself if the water temperatures are between 26 to 28C.

I have been in BDE only in the winter time (23-25C) and I wore 5mm wetsuit.

I didn’t find much of thermocline.

Have fun in Egypt!

 
I was in BDE last June with a 5mm, which seemed appropriate for me on most dives. I'd even go heavier before going lighter, but someone else on our trip only wore shorts and a vest even though he brought more. This varies so much by individual, and it isn't just about comfort - for me, my already bad SAC gets noticeably worse as I get colder, long before I am uncomfortable.

I agree with Dan, no noticeable thermocline, although it might have just been deeper than recreational depth limits.
 
5 mm should be fine. Even with several dives a day.
I hardly remember any changes of temperature with depth. May be once, years ago, at a depth you are no longer allowed to go meanwhile... :oops:
Wehre will you spend the 2 weeks after your LOB?
