Most of the responders have an opinion based on a few trips at most. Trace Malinowski lived there and worked in the dive industry. I'd go with his comments.

Fair enough, but just be clear about what he is saying though. What he specifically said was:Most of the responders have an opinion based on a few trips at most. Trace Malinowski lived there and worked in the dive industry. I'd go with his comments.
Based on his online resume, it looks like he spent less than a year on Brac in 1999, so I don't know that his experience there is as extensive as you are implying. No doubt he has a ton more experience than most of us in general Caribbean diving, but I don't think his response really answers the OP's question about whether weather in a specific month (December) is more likely to shut down diving on Brac than Coz. While the likelihood of cold fronts or hurricanes causing high winds and seas may be just as common as anywhere else in December, the question of whether those high winds and seas completely shut down diving is a different story, and really depends on what time of year you are talking about and where you are asking about.Blow-outs are no more or less common than in Cozumel or other places in the Caribbean in the winter months and during hurricane season.
