I was discussing with another member of our work Scuba club today about a day trip up to Lake Pleasant, maybe this month. He was asking about water temps this time of year. My impression was that the water stayed fairly cool year round, but thought it more intelligent to actually ask some people who know.
I'm thinking getting some experience in cold water diving somewhere closer than an eight hour drive away makes more sense. So far, all my diving has been in nice warm water that hasn't required anything more than the lycra rashguard. I have a 3mm full wetsuit that, so far, I've never worn into the water, and I'm told the thicker the wetsuit, the more "getting used to" it takes to be comfortable diving in it.
Insights, comments, suggestions, and even heckling is always welcome.
