What are the coldest Ocean temps you've seen diving in Hawaii this winter, at each of your dive sites if you remember. Details like time of day, date and depth of those cold dives are also of interest to me.

Got about 50 on my dive computer:
Seatiger Wreck, 100 feet 73 deg
Kewalo Pipe, 50 feet 74-75 deg
YO 257 Wreck, 80 feet 73 deg
Turtle Canyons, 25-35 feet 74-75 deg
These have been pretty consistent for the past few months.

I'm curious... are these warmer than average? Our waters here off Catalina have been unseasonably warm this winter.
drbill - 73* is the coldest I've seen my gauge register on any dive over the past 5 years.

Do you find a 5mm wetsuit is good enough for 74-75 deg water?
I find swim trunks good enough for 90 minutes in 73-75 deg water ... then again I'm pretty well insulated Most visitors prefer a 5mil - and many local pros wear 7mil
it all comes down to you...

The coldest I've ever seen it here on the Big Island was a recent dive (2 March 2010 11:46) at Pipe Dreams,
on the tip of Keahole Pt. Temperature was 71F at 214 FSW.
Temperatures have been running 73-75 for the past couple of weeks. This is according to my Liquivision X1,
which reads a bit colder than some other computers out there.
Oh, and I dive dry

Temps were a balmy 76f at Haleiwa Beach Park yesterday. It was after 1 in the afternoon and I was only freediving, max depth 9 ft . But it got me away from the hubbub at the office party for the real ruckus to die down.
I was in a 3mil with insulated skin and board shorts underneath. 40 minutes was enough to chill me and decide that hamburgers, beer, and people to talk to were alright. Not to mention that tourist that got turned into shark food yesterday as well...
Peace,
Greg

I got 72 degrees at Kahe Point last weekend.
I've been getting 73 pretty consistantly around Lanail Lookout/Blowhole/Hanauma/Dominique's.
