Hi all

I am off to Spain to do some deep dives 80-115m with Kaycher diving and was wondering what thermal protection I should take for a trip 22-29th September?

Whats the deco water temp and the deep water temp?

I was thinking about my Hammond ultra light tri lam dry suit with just a Forthelement Arctic under suit? Does this sound OK?

Any other things I should consider for the trip?

Any one done thease dives? Whats the viz like deep? I am wondering about taking my stills camera?

My experinece in north mediteran sea is 18-22 °c at deco depth and 3-5 less on depth. This was last year september north Croatia, will be similar to Spain.
I guess 15 °c at 100+m. Don't come to the idea diving wet :)
 
Mark is this still happening ? I thought it was cancelled.
I'm doing 15th of sept with them, will let you know water temps.

Spot on the temps.
I did this weekend som 80-90m dives and thats the temps.
But it feels cold on the botom and i guess mostly for the diferent from surface 30+ and then the water 26 to drop quickly to around 12 degres at the bottom.
But from 21m and up it starts to get good again.
You really love it when at 12m and up then you start taking of glovs and hoods.

I'm out here this week and it was 18 at 50 and feeling like being in the bath at 6m, defiantly dry suit temp.
