Tobermory water temp?

[gusser17]

Can anyone who's been in recently report on the temp at depth? Headed up this week and I need to get mentally prepared. My computer registered 15C on the tugs a few weeks ago but I suspect it's a fair bit colder at depth in open water. Thanks in advance.

I would say 4C at depth. I have not been there since July but it was 4C then.

Expect 42-44f at depth beyond 60 feet

So not quite ready to play hockey on it just yet?

The water starts to cool off in mid September.

So that's it? I gotta say, the thought of "global warming" heating up our Canuck water was nice for a while there.

Brrrrr. No Toby for us, got cold on the Keystorm in Rockport the other day, and it was 20c! Plus not that into wrecks, at all. 7mm hood, suits boots as well.

Are you allowed to call yourself Canadian? 20C is tropical water. Too much time in hot water would acclimatize you to the tropics.
I dove the Keystorm a couple weeks ago in a lycra skin and 3mm jacket and loved it. You should come diving this February and acclimatize back to Canadian diving.
You only need one dive in a wetsuit in February for the acclimatization to happen.

I know we are wimps, but do you have antifreeze in your blood??? We take our 7's to the Caribbean in the winter months, lol.

Damn that's cold. Pretty much what I (unfortunately) expected. Thanks for the info, much appreciated. I'll start my zen mind over matter meditation now.
