Hello!
We are going on a cruise at the end of February, sailing out of Miami, and will be diving in Coz and Cayman, one day each. Since Key Largo is just an hour away from Miami, we thought we'd drive there before the cruise and dive maybe one or two days. I'm not familiar with diving there at all and just wondering if it's worth it. My main concern is water temperature and conditions - I am a wimp and afraid of cool water. We are newly certified, but have done a few cooler water dives, such as Tobermory, Canada in early September (15C/60F
) and Dos Ojos Cenote near Playa Del Carmen (which is 24C/76F year round - ok, I guess this isn't really that cool ). From everything I've read, it appears that Key Largo water temperatures will be somewhere in between the two, at around 21C/70F. So should I give it a go or skip it? And would a 5mm wetsuit be appropriate for this water temperature? Thanks!
