I logged a dive in 49*F last winter diving in a 7-6-5 wetsuit.
That is some cold water and the dive was proportionally short.
I can say I did it and will probably attempt it again in the future just to stay in practice during the winter.

Hey everyone, well my Dr. has cleared me to dive again and the wife said I can dive on both saturday and sunday this weekend but I need at least one buddy more is always welcome... I live in Tempe and was thinking about getting an early morning dive in at the river around 7am'ish on saturday then I wanting to get out to pleasant on sunday around the same time, also if anyone is interested since the weather is getting bareable I was also thinking of maybe camping out at pleasant on saturday night to get in a night dive and wake up early and dive the morning.. so if anyone is up for any of this let me know...
Sounds fun.... Over in San Diego I hit the 49 degree temp diving the Yukon in a 6.5 mil semi-dry wet suit!!! It was cold but I sure had a lot of fun.... I also got to dive the kelp beds there and the temps were in the low 50's.... I also have hit the mid 40's at lake pleasant in the deep water during the winter months!!! Dives were not as long as the warm water dives but still a lot of fun!!! BURRRRRR!!!!!
Here is the Yukon during that dive!!!

Always love to see that video. I like the skull-like shape inside the hatch (shows up at the 15 second and 9 second marks). I've hit 45 degrees at about 70' last winter at Lake Pleasant. That's the coldest dive in my log book. We actually did 2 dives that day.

A couple of years ago in January I clocked a frisky 43F at mohave lake, yep, I won't be doing that again anytime soon.

Hey I'll be there in the AM Sat. at Bis Pt too.
George should be in easy reach.
See ya there.
Maybe we should put a Gnome or something down there.
Hey Ron, remember the Gnome you where moving around at
Scorpin? I've had my eye out for something at a yard sale
to take down.

That was some good footage. Get's me excited because I am diving San Diego in two weeks from tomorrow. Won't be doing a wreck dive though, just diving from the shore at Lajolla Cove. I was wondering with your San Diego experience do I need a 7 mm suit diving from the shore there in two weeks or is my 3.5 mil enough? I figure temps will be around the mid 50's to upper 50's at the surface.
