Anybody dived around Athens

14-15 degrees? Definitely thick semidry. These temperatures are typical for
Dublin summer diving where we're all in either 7mm semi's or 5mm shortie
over 5mm longjohn with hood of course. I dived in Croatia where water temp
was late teen early twenties, I was wearing 5mm with hood but even at this I
was getting cold towards the end of the dive. 5mm in 14-15 degrees sounds
like a short chilly dive. I depends what your tolerance to cold is etc but
I'd agree with Matthias.

Rick,

Be aware of flying-diving-flying. If you dive the whole weekend, you can't
fly on sunday-night or monday morning!
