Belize in January

Planning on doing some snorkeling in Belize in January. How cool is the water at that time of the year and would I need a 1mm wetsuit or a diveskin

Pulled out my log book from our Belize dive in Early Feb ...water temp at 50 feet was 79 degrees...I dove in a 3ml long and was quite comfortable

So I would think a 1ml short is what I would use if I was snorkeling. Or just take a 1 ml shirt to wear.

My husband would probably just go w a rash guard.

Just depends a bit if your cold natured and if it's a sunny day.

Have fun.

The water temperature was 79 when I was there early February this year.

Belize January 13 2016 water temperature was 77 at 76', dove in shorts and a shirt, down for 45 minutes and no problems with cold.
