Looking on NOAA it says the water temp in Pensecola is 78.4 deg. F. The reason I want to know is because on March 24, 25, and 26 I will be in Pensecola, FL. If the water is this warm I'd love to make a dive or two if I could find a dive buddy. Will have to go by MBT to rent a couple of tanks. If any one is willing to take on an unknown basically nuby diver as a buddy let me know. Shore or boat dives are great with me. Thanks in advance.
 
I think the NOAA temperatures published come from buoys and are surface temperatures.

I could be wrong . . . as usual.

I was in Pensacola a few weekends ago and dove in a 3mm Henderson and was just fine. The water temps were in the upper 60's.
 
I was in Pensacola last week. I didn't go to Pensacola Beach, but I did go to Navarre. I did a little snorkeling by the pier and didn't have on a wetsuit. It was a little chilly, and maybe for a dive a thin wet suit would be a good idea. I think Navarre is about the only shore dive available in that area right now, but it maxes out at about 20ft. I talked to a couple divers while I was there and they saw one puffer fish and I think that was about it. I ended up diving in the springs.
 
I still would like to do a dive just need to find a local dive buddy. We will be staying real close to Pensecola Beach.
