Being a new diver (15- dives) I have only had the opportunity to dive in a few places over the last 3 months. So far I have dived in Catalina, shore dive at Laguna, and shore dive at Newport.
The deepest I've gone so far was around 100 ft, where it began getting rather cold even in a 7 mil and thermal rash guard.
How cold does the water get during "diving season" in California.
I'm asking for 2 reasons essentially.
1. Do I need a cold-water reg/environmentally sealed reg?
2. When should I hang up the dive gear and call it a season? Which months are best to dive in?
