No offense but that ain't winter. Our water temps are in the 40's and even into the 30's in the summer.

None taken. I'm with you 100%. I wouldn't let the water temperature deter me. I'd find a way. But that is some cold water.

Since This in in the KPP area, I feel that I'm qualified to answer.
I dive, just not as often. I usually take a FL springs trip in Jan, it's not that expensive. Last winter, I also did a couple of days of diving at Pennyroyal (S/W Kentucky). Granted those were done in drysuits.
The quarry dives were different. It's a good time to explore parts of the quarry that you normally don't spend a lot of time in. In Feb the surface was 44deg and at 100' it was 42deg. Other than watch your no deco limits and gas supply, you might as well check out the deeper areas. You can't tell the difference in the temp shallow or deep.
Oops, my bad. That would be so out of character.
Well, really those temps aren't as bad as I thought they would be. We had 45deg at Gilboa at 65' a few weeks ago. The surface intervals would stink though
The dive group I belong to is going to Ginnie SPrings, in Feb...don't know if I can go yet or not though. I can hope...
See, that's the problem. This is Halloween weekend so my son has plans already and only wish I could dive during the week....lucky bum :tongue:
Thank you for the offer though.
Just so much going on now with holidays coming up...the next weekend I have free is like the Nov 13th/14th and it could be 70 or it could be 35. I'm moving back to FL or the USVI lol.
Not to mention, Joe is kind of irking me with his attitude this season. We only went once this year and just way too many floaters and they were not swimming safely.
