Wetsuit for Oman

[S. starfish]

I'm going heading over to Muskat, Oman in August. Am I going to be ok in my 2mm shorty I use for teaching in the pool or am I going to freeze on the longer/deeper dives?

We dove Muskat last weekend, for the first and second dive I and most of the group used only short and T shirt and it was ok. next day for the third and fourth dive I put on a .5mm but didnt realy needed it, so I assume shorty will be more than enough. just my opinion. good luck and have fun.

I will not open new thread, this one is good for my question.
So, me and my wife are planning to visit Muscat this year last week in october. Can someone tell me the average temperature of the sea at october/november so i should know what kind of suit we will take with us, short 3mm or long 5mm???
Thanks for help

Thanx...any recommendation about diving locations around Muscat?? Probably will dive with Eurodivers, located at ShangriLa resort, because we had nice dives with Eurodivers on Maldives. I know must dives are Dimanyat islands and Fahal islands and some wreck 15 min sailling from Muscat, what else???
What about other activities around Muscat can you recommend to me??

Temperatures will be around 28-32 C and a 3mm shorty is more than enough. Due the risk of gelly fishes I would recommend a 0.5 full skin. These *******s can be quite stingy...:11:
