Dannygoesdiving has just registered - ask him, he's well placed to ask

I'd hazard an educated guess at 5mm full though

Thumbs up
I was there last summer. 5mm Full suit had me toasty and would be the norm I'd say, unless you're really hard!
Enjoy it, the diving is great.

I've used a 5mm shortie at this time of year with no problems. Thermoclines can be a bit fierce though.

If it wasn't so damn scorching in the sun, I'd probably have used a full length 5mm - it's a trade off.

I was there in June last year.

I wore a 5mm wetsuit which was ok. As Lazlo said there are some significant thermoclines, water temp was as low as 17C
