Wetsuit on Western Carribean

[DJP1201]

Im debating on whether or not to bring our wetsuits with us next week. We’re doing Castaway Cay twice, Cozumel, and Grand Cayman. Will I need a wetsuit?

Just do a web search for each of your ports to decide. Looks like the high temps will be in the lower 80's next week.

need is subjective ... depends on what is 'cold' to you as well as what you plan to do ....

I took mine when planning to SCUBA in ports where offered but typically not if just snorkeling

there are wet suits and there are wetsuits .... are you talking a full or just a shorty? How thick? We typically use 3mm, shorty for dw, farmer john for me.

biggest issue for me is always what to do with a wet wetsuit .... putting it out on your veranda is a no no since the famous PRINCESS fire

(probably cause: cig' tossed or dropped fell to clothing or towels on balcony resulting in ignition)

hanging in the tub is an option but needs to be moved to shower ....

I'm a scuba diver and I often go diving at the various ports when I cruise and I've never needed a wetsuit. On occasion I will see a few people in my dive group with 1mm wetsuits but I find it unnecessary, however it's your decision.

We always hit the SCUBA excursions when sailing and I travel with a 3mm shorty in the Caribbean but my wife still uses her 7mm full suit. Just depends on the person.

Just got back this past weekend and snorkeled in Coz/GC. We didn't need a wetsuit at all, but had iffy weather in CC so it would've been nice there.

I’m a weather wimp, so I always bring my long sleeve wetsuit top to wear over my bikini... I find that’s enough to let me hang out in the water with my hubby without freezing!!
