I need help here. On the Basic Scuba Board, there is a question regarding cold water temperatures. The gentleman that started the thread stated that he recorded fresh water in liquid form at 30 degrees (f). I have been on ice dives where the temps range from 28-31 degrees (f). Everyone else is saying this is impossible because fresh water freezes at 32 degrees. They are saying that the bottom temps (summer or winter NEVER get below 39 degrees. Personally I've dove the Walter B. Allen in the middle of July with a bottom temp of 35 degrees. According to the US Dept of energy, fresh water can still be in liquid form below 32 degrees. Only PURE water freezes at 32 degrees. (Water created in a lab).
What is the coldest temp you've ever recorded? (Summer or winter) Thanks!!!
