Warm water between 24 and 28 degrees means a 3 mm wetsuit is comfortable year-round, but bring reef-safe protection against sun exposure on the boat ride out. Stay aware of your fins around the canyon walls, as the sea urchins cluster in crevices where beginners sometimes drift close while focusing on buoyancy.
