Never had an issue with water temp in the BVI in either April or November, but we are from New England.... YMMV.


Sometimes the first jump off the boat in an anchorage can be a little brr, but 80 F water temp is not daunting. Closer to shore, shallower water over sand, and anywhere not subject to on-shore current will seem even warmer.

It isn't a bad idea to think of a rash-guard, or even a T-shirt while in the water, for either kids or adults, especially when snorkeling. Back and shoulders can get sunburned pretty quickly, and while in the water you won't notice it. Then, when the sun goes down----- yeah, you know that drill ?
