Help! Water temperature right now in Grand Cayman?

[yle]

I hope this is a simple question for those of you that know. My family and I are staying and diving on GC the first week of January. It's our first time staying on the island and diving multiple days. We're diving with Ocean Frontiers on the east end.

Their website currently shows the water temp as 85.5 F. This is a bit warmer than I would expect, so I'm borrowing some wisdom from a former president and I'll trust... but I'd like to verify.

Can anyone provide independent confirmation of the current water temp there? I don't want to bring more neoprene than necessary... but I really don't want to bring less neoprene than necessary!

Thank you!

I was on the Brac last week, my computer read at 82
I was wearing 3mm full suit and was comfy.

Was on GC, 7mb (GC Report) 3 weeks ago and just looked at dive logs, temps were 81-83.

Water temp is 82.

Thanks everyone! Those temps make much more sense. I'll be there next week and I'll ask the dive shop about the temp they're posting on their website -- maybe they just forgot to update it for the past three months. But I'll certainly plan for 81-82 F.

Thanks @yle. I will be there in a few weeks so good to know no wetsuit needed.
