Bahma's advice on temps etc

[rtlexi]

Thinking of taking a cruise to the Bahama's Jan 3, 2015. I am concerned over the temperature of the water and the weather. I would like to hear from someone who has been to Nassau or Half Moon Cay in the beginning part of January. Just want to make sure its warm enough to go snorkeling without a wet suit.

Not to me! But I'm from Florida and I'm a wimp. :) It really depends on your tolerance for 70 degree water.

Generally speaking, water temps usually run around 70. A bit chilly.

Snorkeling tours will be going out, but most people don't spend much time in the water without getting a chill.

 

As for wetsuits - only the dive shops provide them. Most snorkeling tours do not.
