Hi !

Approx watertemp. of the red-sea:
nov: 25 c
dec: 24 c
jan: 22 c
feb: 21 c
mar: 20 c
apr: 21 c
There might be a difference of one degree plus in the sinai area(sharm el
sheikh)


I think the water-temp is not the problem,the main problem during wintertime
is the wind (some boats cannot go out because of the waves) and the air-temp
after the dive.
Yes ,its still warm compared to european countries ,but due to the wind
you get cold very easy and need warm clothes on the boat.
