Good point. When I had the free flow problem, it was the air temp, and not the water temp that contributed to the problem.
 
I have never had the pleasure of diving in what most would consider warm water. I spent most of my life in Kodiak Alaska, average water temp aprox. 36-38 degrees. Salt water freezes at 28 degrees F. and I been under the ice.I wear a two piece 7 mil suit, I have never had the opertunity to wear a dry suit. I beleive that the warmest temp Ive been in is aprox 54 degrees in puget sound. (hoods canal). I would love to dive warm water at least once.
 
No need to stop . . . I have a drysuit.

Jan of 2000 did Ice Diving Cert. Temp underwater was 36 Degrees. Air Temp was 22, overcast, windy and snowing. I wanted to be under the water. It was warmer.

There's no limit for me .........yet.

Only because i do not have enough experience yet to give that

info ,but i'll let you know after a few more dives.
 
I am sooooo spoiled. The coldest I dive are the local springs and spring fed rivers @ 72 degrees and that is not often as the ocean is not too far...

My hats off to you cold water divers...
 
It's definately easy to get spoiled in cave country. I really miss the waters in Alaska. Kodiak, you are a sick puppy to dive wet. You need counselling haha.
We dove a lot in Dutch Harbor. Great wrecks, hellacious tides and current always.
If water is liquid, it's a good dive.
 
when there is snow in the hills and the sled is ready to go other than that-- no reason to stop.
 
Up until the weekend I would have said 70 but on Saturday I dived for the first time in this country. The water was about 15c but wearing a 6.5mm semi dry I was toasty! I think I'll try this again!

regards
 
as long as I have the gear... Haven't reached the "to cold for me" yet!!
