Snorkeling in December

How is the water temp in December in Cayman? Wet suits needed?
I would expect water temps to be 80 +/- 1 degree. Whether you will need a wet suit or not will depend on your individual tolerance to cold. For me, I need a 3mm full wetsuit for that temp, but then again, I'm kind of slender and get cold easily. Some people have a bit more "personal insulation" and therefore are able to tolerate colder water.

I'll second that. About 80 degrees in December. The lowest the water temp will go is about 78 in Jan thru Feb, with the high about 85 in August. We went snorkeling this past Jan and the water was in the high 70's and it seemed fine to me.
