thumpr saw the sea in a book once
Personally, I would take my drysuit. It is just more comfortable. Also the wind can be cold and it is a long ride in the boat.

I dived the poor knights last christmas and took my drysuit. My mate dived in a wetsuit and was cold.

I have only dived a wetsuit in NZ (I'm another kiwi) and would say go wet - I normally wore a 5mm farmer john and was toasty in 17 deg water (August).

If you want an update on current water/weather at the Poor Knights, go to www.scubadive.net.nz :: Index - there is always a local from the Tutukaka area there who will be able to help you out.

Cheers,
