Does anyone know what the current water temp. is right now in T & C?

78^o - it's probably not going to change much in two weeks.

I didn't record the temperature but 2 years ago I dove there from the Explorer in a t-shirt the last week of May.
Most people used a skin or 3mil. We do all the dives...

i would say no colder than 78 but the water is now warming up!!!
where are you going ?island land based or liverboard?
either way you will love it !!!
if you are in provo check out somewhere on the beach for sunset cocktails!!!

Just got back on Tuesday...My VT3 said 80F on the surface, drops a degree at about 35' then down to 78F all the way to 80'. I dove a 2mm full suit and was perfect, some diving tee-shirts ended up a little cold, other in tees did just fine.

I was on family spring break vacation and we did the Beaches thing. Overall, great experience for resort diving, so we did the usual Grace Bay and the western tip stuff.

Thanks for all the feedback!

Headed out for a week on the Explorer Venturer's vessel w/ a group.

We just received snow up in Colorado so our divers are ready for the tropics.
