So what kind of wetsuit
do you need for different time of the year in the Red Sea? I get that question
all the time. The truth is that it's not so much a question about geography and
chronology as it is about you. Here are the temperatures. How easily do you
freeze?
It's not a huge difference geographically along the coast. From Hurghada
to Marsa Alam is about 250 km and to get to Hamata you need to travel another 18
km then you might have one or two degrees more. Some people come to Egypt and
dive in a shorty in the winter, I use a dry suit. Some people (like me) use a
7mm full length semidry in the summer...
Check the temperatures in the water/on land above and use common sense to
decide what suit to bring. But do remember: It's much better to be a
little bit too warm than too cold!

suit over the year
