Hi. I'm a cold water diver from Washington state. I have never dove in warm water. And believe it or not I still use a wet suit. Any other Pacific Northwest divers on here? Let me know what's new. Paul.

Puget Sound is WARM water divingA cold water Puget Sound diver here
Depends on your perspective, I suppose. I'm still diving in 37-40F water. You would be surprised how warm 45F feelsbertschb:45 degrees is pretty cold water isn't it Snowbear?
It's really neither. I've lived in the Pacific Northwest all my life. I've never traveled to "exotic, warm" locations. So when I took my lessons in 1983, cold water is all I knew about, and I'm used to it. Now I say "cold water", but I didn't say that I was cold. It all depends on the quality of suit you wear, whether wet or dry. I do just fine in 50 degree water for two dives in one day. :dazzler1:DiveKitty68:hello and welcome to SB. you are a brave man....or crazy;-)
just giving you a little good-natured ribbin'. I think I'm going to turn into a warm water wuss myself.scubaduber:It's really neither. I've lived in the Pacific Northwest all my life.
