I fly out on Dec 6th to see my folks.

Wanna dive the Swan, Bussleton, Rottnest and Perth (might dive with the sharks at the aquarium so my folks can watch), but won't make it up to Ningaloo this time (not Whaleshark season anyway) nor the caves in the WA desert

Tempted by a dive shop for sale in Dampier (near the archipelago).

I'm there for a month

Anyhoo, water temp?

December perth water temps will be in the low 20s. probably a 5mm suit with hood should be okay otherwise a drysuit.
