UAE East Coast Temperatures

[hedonist222]

Want to dive soon

Last dive a month ago it was a bit cold
25 I think

Was wearing a skin suit only

I have a 3mm shorty and a 2/3/5 mm hooded vest

Maybe vest under skin suit?

Vest over 3mm

Vest over 3mm over skin suit

Had more natural insulation when I was fat lol

You can always tell long time UAE divers. When they think 25 is cold you know they have been here a bit.

25* C would be refreshing over here on the west side of the peninsula where we’re still in the high 20s around 60m and low 30s up top.

I’m wearing my 3mm D6G wetsuit but only because I’m in a torrid love affair with the pockets.

The sacrifices we make for our mistresses.

I like pockets

Are you in Jeddah?

 

[NothingClever]

Indeed I am in the lovely historic Red Sea trading port and home of more overbuilt malls per capita than anywhere else in the universe.

In Yanbu next week for a couple of days of normoxic diving on Abu Ghallawa reef.

Nice, I had planned to get over this summer but the virus put a stop to that.

I miss my Saudi diving days

Hopefully your jellyfish aren't quite as nasty and plentiful there. It's amusing when the number of jellyfish factor into visibility. Last weekend was amusing...

You got some jellies up in Gulf DT?

Send in the turtles

 

[DuTemplar]

On the sealine side, tons of them. Oh yeah, but the turtles are cut off in the inland sea area, or the far northeast. They'd have a lotta fun.

Oddly enough, we had a whale shark buzzing through two weeks ago and circling the GMC reef area. Normally don't catch those hereabouts, or that close in.

That is what I have tech shorts for. When it is that warm I put those on and no need for the D6 wetsuit.
