Water temp. and diving in Dubai?

Hello

Does anyone have any idea of what water temperature to expect around
Dubai in the beginning of January? General information about diving in
Dubai is also very welcome.

Leaving for one week vacation in Dubai together with my wife next
sunday. I'm planning to pack a bit of diving equipment.

Never been, so I had to look it up. Saw three web pages that said
20-35 Celius, plus or minus a degree.

If it were my trip, I'd prepare for 20C. Better to be too warm than
too cold.

Enjoy your trip.

If we don't succeed, we run the risk of failure.

I was there a few years back in early summer...

Air temperatures were in the 40 oC plus range and humid...going in for a
swim was NOT refreshing...just more humid...

Didn't get a chance to do any diving...but it was very, very hot..
