Thread: Wet suits in Bligh and Beqa

Four of us just did 11 dives in Bligh water and Beqa. We all wore 4mm. After two-three dives the girls were cold, I never had a problem. I had an Edge 3mm full, no hood, no gloves, 5mm boots and my BCD. I was very comfortable. Here are a couple shots: Login | Facebook Ra Divers out of Volivoli / Wananavu are great to dive with, especially the Bigger boat out on Bligh. AquaTrek is who we dove with in Pacific Harbour. Bula!!

Hmmm.... I am headed to Fiji the first week in October to dive a few days off Taveuni and 2 days off Beqa. The warmest suit I have is a 1.5 - 2 mm. :-) Do you think a polartic divskin will be warm enough or should I run out and buy a 3 mm? I rarely dive in water temps under 81 and after doing 3 dives a day, start to get a little chilly enough to put on my 1.5 mm on the 5th day. __________________ "Life's a beach and then you...

We are looking into the possibility of taking a quick trip in August also. We plan at least 1 - 2 days in Beqa. I am also interested in the wetsuit issue. I was planning a 1 mm under my 3 mm with a hood and vest just in case. When are you in Pacific Harbor? Where are you staying?

How was your trip? My BF and I are trying to decide between diving at Wananavu and Beqa for two days in January 2010 on our way back from GBR. I'd be interested in your compairison between the two resorts and the diving.

I just returned from Beqa a couple of days ago. The diving was great with great visibility. However, the water temp was 75 degrees. I was comfortable in a 5mm wetsuit. My wife wore a 5mm wetsuit with a 3mm hooded vest.
