Snorkeling in November
How cold will the water be in La Paz around Thanksgiving?

Not sure about La Paz, but I snorkel sans wet suit in November anywhere north of A Verde. Water is still warm enough.

October/November are two of the best months. Should be in the low to mid 80s.

Thanksgiving should be right around high 70s degrees, possibly 80. I am talking about surface temps.
I agree with Ken for October and most of November.

I've been planning to go to Ensenada de los Muertos - Hwy. 286 out of La Paz south. Says shallow bay - and I see a rock outcropping south end of cove
that might have decent snorkling. An off-the-beaten-path kinda place. Report back if you go.

I have snorkeled this time of year at various locations, from the east cape to B.O.L.A. without needing my wet suit. That was fortunate for me since
2008 (the year I retired) was the last year it actually fit me!
I may start using the weight belt again. It seems that some of my lean muscle tissue has been converted to insulation, and it is hard to get off the
surface! I guess I could add a knife to the belt to look like I am just accessorizing my outfit.
If you are not living on the edge, you are taking up too much space!
"Could do better if he tried!" Report card comments from most of my grade school teachers. Sadly, still true!

LOL me also. I gave three wet suits away last week. Also a BC dive vest. Fortunately my shoes and fins still fit and the weight belt works fine if
tuned properly. A knife strapped to the leg looks cool.
