What do you consider cold?

Oohh - Ice Diving - Way too cold for me

- count me into the CAD divers - I voted 30 degrees warmer, just because the local waters pass through that point real fast on the way to too cold!

40 degs and below and things start to feel "chilly". After exposed areas of your face go numb, its not so bad. My coldest is 34, but 40 and under doesn't stop me - sometimes you need that nit. fix! :nixon:

i would suppose you could dive with tthe iceburgs and stuff in new found land and labrador i know the pass there all the time and on bottem it is even scarred from the ice dgagging the bottem .
BTW the water temp here is 43 deg f today,
the water is warming up fast in southern Nova Scotia
and the AOW is comming too in june cant wait .

BTW, what's the lowest water temp you can dive in? 31F for sure; how about 28F?

Freshwater can also get down to 28°f if it's moving fast, or has a lot of sewage in it...
