Hey Aquabella, without a drysuit I am a chicken by myself
. But seriously it is possible - the last time I did it our group equally consisted of people in dry and wetsuits. And it was -15 C outside with quite a windchill. So it was much warmer in the water. As for name - I am just a frogman with an X. Go figure out what that means.

A bunch of my friends went diving today.. Drift dive in Chippawa Creek.. I was supposed to go but couldn't, because of a nasty cold, so I showed up for moral/surface support
Man am I glad I didn't go.. Everybody was in doubles and drysuits..Nice thik thermal underwear.. and it was still cold.. Water temp was a balmy 31 farenheit.. Everybody had at least one freeze-up during the dive.. (Reg or inflator hose or both..) LOL..
I'm glad I didn't go Maybe next week..

Sparky, correct me if I am wrong, but freshwater temperature can't be 31 F. 32 is a 0 C. Water temperature should be above that point otherwise the whole creek will be frozen. Salt water is another story (I know pressure can affect the freezing point temperature too)
