Part of the gear required for diving up here includes a chain saw with a 4-foot bar, lots of long rope, several good buddies, and a good recipe for chili.
We dont use argon in our dry suits, we just eat more chili and let nature help us along.

Come to Florida.
The springs are always 68-72 degrees.
If you make it all the way to the keys bring suntan lotion.
lol
That's exactly what I'm planning to do, just jump in my car with all the gear and .....
Anybody's up for a trip to the keys somewhere in november/december??? khel
I cave dive in the 72f springs here in florida, or take a trip south to the keys.
What do I do in the winter? I dive.
The viz in Monterey is best then, no plankton blooms.
Many people dive it dry, but I dive it wet year round.

I see you're in Arkansas. Have you considered the Bonne Terre Mine? It's 58 degrees year round, with 100 foot visibility.

This from a man who claims he's not a warm water weenie. Hey man, if you can't handle the great visibility and lack of boat traffic, it's not our fault. That entire comment was rude and uncalled for.

I'm just curious what it is like. you gave 2 good points that I never thought of. does ice form underwater as well ? Mike
WEll, I do pull out the shorty for winter diving. The water here will drop to the low 70's. I just make sure my buddy also has access to a jaccuzzi.
When in the neighborhood, look me up, always ready for a beach dive!
