Water temperature can drop to 13 degrees Celsius in winter, so bring a thicker wetsuit than you think you need, a 5mm minimum with hood is sensible outside the summer months. Watch for boat traffic on the surface before and after the dive, and take care around sharp coral and rocks during entry and exit.
