Yeah it's nuts 
Someone was telling me about their trip off Qatar in 37C water, so it's moreorless impossible to cool down

Yeah it's nuts
Its usually 30+ from around 5 meters
I don't think anywhere in the Arab has 35+ for more than a few days of the year
I recall it usually being 30-32.
You're ascending from a typical 25-27 - so the 30-32 warmth is actually a welcome feeling!
45 Celsius on the boat though is not very pleasant
The humidity is the worst part there. I hated it. I remember diving in the Gulf in Dubai during the summer, with the water in the 34- 35 °C range at 30 meters down. It was awful.
In July and August, the air temperature along the Libyan coastline is 30 - 47 °C, but there is much less humidity than in the Gulf.
