St. Lawrence River temperature

I wear the 7mm no hood, thin gloves to protect my hands, not to provide thermal protection.

Less than 7mm might be OK, I haven't tried simply because I don't OVER heat in the 7mm and I don't own any lighter fullsuit.

I was reading 69*F at the Keystorm all the way down Thursday 7/25. Surface according to depth finder was 72*F. I was in a 5 mil and was more than comfy with light gloves and no hood. Was still comfy on second dive at the America at the bottom. Friends from Buffalo area made me go dive! Gotta love it!! Still miss #1 buddy though, Jimmy, however I know he's there in spirit!

Yep! Top to bottom, its warm (my PDC said 72 @ 105'). Vis, however, is another story.......tons of suspended matter. Thanks Tony!

(note to self - zipper is on the back.......)

Busy at the Keystorm today. Reading about 70-72* F all the way down to the prop. Tethered to the NW buoy and a bunch of boats on the bow tether. Looked to me that everyone was having a good time!! Did the America and just missed an overhead freighter going by. Gotta love the St Lawrence and the lack of thermocline!! Vis , maybe 20-30' and still some floating particles. Been tweaking the sidemount and love having all the gas you could need!!
