Any reason I def shouldn't do this? Obvs the sea will be cooler than Sept but from a look online it seems not to cold.

Had a fun early season trip to Sardinia a few years ago where we did some light DWSing. I recall the water was surprisingly cold, but other than that it was fine. I've heard seepage is a major issue in the midsummer at Diablo, but perhaps it's ok early season? That might be the only potential problem.

For Mallorca DWS you want the sun low in the sky to get rid of the grease that develops in the back of the caves.

Went in June once and we had real issues with grease. A lot of crags were unclimabbale. As above, go in Sept or October when sun is lower in the sky.
