OK so I've been back from the Red Sea a couple of weeks and now I am
beginning to dry out.

So what's the temp like for real. I've looked at a website that says
9deg. I'm trying to get my wife to buddy me and she dives in a wet suit.

And what is the vis like? When I was there October last year it was
close to Gildenburg only green and not brown.

Though when I dived Gildy in mid November last, on a week day, with just
two of us in the water, you could see the bus from the lorry!!!

Last sun it was 13 on the surface,about 11 on the Stanegrath, 10 on the
hydrobox.
Lots of people in Drysuits.
Viz, green about 5 m

Enjoy.

oh, watch out for the thieving f*ckers who will steal the steam of your
p*ss if you leave it unattended in the water for 2 secs.

Someone once told me if you run the cold tap in your house for a few minutes
and take its temperature, that'll be the same as a body of inland water,
give or take a smidge.

Comments anyone?

(PS. Good luck with the North Sea thing!)

Could be close to... I'll email you a list of my inland water excursions
complete with temperatures and you can see for yourself. I've stopped going
to Stoney since they opened the NDAC just 40 mins away.

Shout if you don't receive it.

Thanks for that.

NDAC looks well set up.

Only for me it's well over 200 miles by road and cross country.
