Red sea xmas trip

[Kevster]

Hi i am planning a dive trip late December.
Either to Mozambique or Red sea


Been to red sea two twice before.

Planning a Liveaboard in the north (Wrecks & reef) if i go to the red sea.

I know water will be cold ,around 21 C, but wanted to know what the topside/sea conditions would be like. Rough/windy?

Would appreciate any feedback

I think it will be Wwwwwwwwindy in the north!! Bring a thin-wind-jacket and two big fluffy towels to dry off fast once you get back in the boat!

Yes in December it's usually windy in the north.

Will be windy and that's the chilling factor in the Red Sea. Many instructors use dry suits, not really because of the water temp but coming out and getting wind chill. Bring a good fleece and maybe even tracky bottoms. Still sunny and after warming up plenty of sun time on offer.
If you have a dry suit - bring it.
