whats the water temp in sharm in dec?

[MeanGuy]

hello guys, i just started my thread
about getting a wet suit, some people recommended 3mm hooded vest and a 5mm suit.
, i just got nice advice about which suits to get,
but since im very skinny, and i might go to sharm in Dec. people say its 23 degrees in the air, and the water is a bit warmer , like 25?
do i still go with the 3mm hooded vest and 5mm full suit ? or should i just get a semi dry suite while im at it?
i dived in sharm from 28th sept to 3rd oct.
i think it was 25-28c.
is it usually windy in dec?
thanx

ps, this is my post about the suit btw

It depends on how much you get cold. Usually it's windy in December.

Last year the water temp was about 23deg C form most of Dec. Last week it was still 28deg C so should be similar to last year.

Most locals, myself included, tend to use dry suits as the wind has a real chill when you come out the water so if you are looking at a semi-dry I would definitely go for that if you don't have a drysuit.

The temp during the day is around 22/25 deg but it can drop down at night top 15/16 deg so bring a sweater.

Hope you have a good trip.

thanx man, i've done my research and decided , its a bad idea XD , like u said ,the wind can really kick ur ass, and to be honest. i was planning to bring the family and let them enjoy the beach. they can't do that . so we decided to push it a bit forward, maybe go to maldives instead,not sure. depends on the cash . "shrugs"
but thanx for the reply
