Having found that problems with my Souf Effrican passport are going to prevent me heading to Tenerife, we've booked on a liveaboard doing the Northern Red Sea out of "Hull".

Seeing as I'm a REAL southern-shandy-drinking-type wimp, what exposure protection should we take? I have a 5mm three peice wetsuit combo, or should I take the membrane drysuit? Don't laugh, I get cold really easily.

I have seen people diving in the red sea in a dry suit. I get cold quite easily being a skinny girly and have a two piece 5mm suit oceanic shadow (full suit plus shorty that goes over the top) , wore that in Sharm in Feb and was toasty warm. So I think either option would work fine.

I always take my drysuit to the Red Sea in January/February but I don't think you'll need it in late November. I'd say you'll be fine in your three-piece 5 mm wetsuit. Here are the temps in Sharm: http://www.redseacollege.com/english...de/weather.htm
