What's the sea like in Cyprus around now?

[Scuby]

Thinking of making a last minute dash to Cyprus for last week of May - the last two years running we've been going over end of September/October and then early November.

Just wondered if I'm gonna be OK in 3mm

Thanx

Hey Scuby

Youll be fine in 3mm, especially if it is open cell inside.

If youve been in Cyprus in September then you already know how boiling hot the water can get. There has been dry hot weather all April and by the end of May it will be more comfortable for you to dive in with your 3mm than in July.

If you are diving in the South all of the above applies.
The north being deeper is relatively colder but still no problems

Yes there's quite a change between September and November temps! I'll be taking open cell so should be cosy (until I get out of the water and cook!!)
