We spent the last 2 days doing very good dives at Cabo Pearce. Lots of mantas, dolphins, several Tiger Sharks. Water was 74.
Socorro end of May

Yeah ugh!! I’m heading out on Friday on Belle Amie. They said the water temps were supposed to be similar to December but low 70s. Seemed like it warmed up a little bit from last week based on the dive reports but still low 70a. I’m a wimp in the cold and I don’t think my 5mm with Lavacore hooded vest underneath is going to be enough. Ordered some 3 mil shorties to try over but I’m going to go try on a 7/5 today to be safe.

Best of luck on your trip, look forward to hearing about it.
The water temps on my trip in 2019 at the same time of year were 72-74 degrees, mostly 73. I wore a full 7 mm and a 5/3 hooded vest. I was comfortably warm.
This year the water temps were 69-74 degrees, San Benedicto was particularly cold. I wore a full 5 mm and a 5/3 hooded vest. I was cold much of the time, particularly in the last 15 min or so of the dives. I really wish I would have taken my 7 mm suit
I am grateful that we spent our 7th day of diving off Socorro at Cabo Pearce rather than heading back to San Benedicto for the last day. Not only was the water 4-5 degrees warmer, it was the best diving of the trip.

I just got a very stretchy Bare 7mm wetsuit and 3/2 hood to wear over the Lavacore, not messin’ around! Thanks for the moral support.

On day 3 of diving and the conditions have been great. They were expecting a rough crossing on the way out but the winds died down and was pretty smooth. Lots of manta and dolphin action so far. Was pretty cold at the Canyon the first day, water was 69-71 but warmer at Cabo Pearce yesterday 72-74. Crazy manta action there, lots of friendly ones and we 2 different groups of 4 or 5 at a time. Roca O’niell was the first dive today and also warmer 72-74. Off to Punta Tosca now and Roca Partida mañana.
