Phuket Thailand, Racha Yai island. I had snorkeled there several times before so it was familar waters.
Lake George NY luckily in the summer so fairly warm at the surface, still pretty chilly at depth. In a really poorly fitting rental suit that scooped the cold water in at the neck and passed it down my entire body and out the bottom, yikes! Since it is the only place fairly local with decent diving it is where the majority of my dives to date have been logged. However, in my own well fitting warm gear 
If only it would thaw........

Cold weather, visibilty was about 2 feet, this was off a jetty in some inlet, water was around 50, I had a great time! Me and the instructor stayed in the water back pedalling for awhile and practiced navigating underwater with compass. The best part was watching the college students and visitors looking at us when we got out and started changing, wide eyed, like..... "Are those dudes crazy!"

Besides OW training dives, Lake Travis, Texas hydroelectric dam. The noise of the generators freaked the **** out of me!

Puget Sound Alki Point Cove 2
Air temp: ~38 F, Water temp: ~50 F; Vis: ~25-30 ft
The first dive was just doing skills for our NAUI OW cert with our instructor. On the second dive he took us around the cove and we managed to run into a very large Giant Pacific Octopus out in the open moving around the bottom (rather than hiding in their dens as they normally do). It even stopped to check out some of us for a few minutes before slowly moving on along the bottom. Pretty cool for a first day of diving.
