Sorry, I neglected to answer your post earlier because I assumed someone who had been there more recently would have posted by now.

We were there on Saturday and it was still 50 on the bottom. Cold even in a dry suit. I have no idea how all those students dive there in wet suits????

I'll be diving there on the 15th for rescue diver training. Hopefully it warms up.

Anyone have any current temperatures at Rawlings?

According to the new May issue of their newsletter, it's about 60 at the surface; 50 on the bottom.

We were at Rawlings this weekend and my computer read between 52-60 degrees.

50 is cold yes, but not cold in a drysuit. I guess temp effects everyone differently. you will also feel colder if you are unser stress or anxious so just relax... I did a dive in Lake Milbrook last December in a 7ml with hood and gloves and did not bother me much. I was comfortable diving at rawlings this past weekend in my 7ml and the temps were high 50s
