I agree with Amber
anything less than tropical is cold.
if you need a bathing suit it is cold

Sorry to lower the quality of the humour but the answer is obvious.
. . . Warm as toast even after an hour in the arctic in a well-insulated dry suit using dry, well-insulated gloves/mits and, perhaps a full face mask.
. . . Relatively hypothermic after 30 minutes in the Caribbean using only a swimsuit.
Whether the diver experiences cold depends on the quaility of the environmental suit he/she uses, is that not so?

My wife thinks i am "nuto" but i enjoy diving all year around ,including the wintertime here in the northeast .
I have been to my favorite dive destination in January when the temp is about 20 de F. with the chill factor around -5 de. below zero. I don my 10 mill wetsuit gloves & hood and try to find a spot at my car were i can break the wind to suitup. The average water temp is in the 40's f. which isn't to bad.
The only thing that did worry me was a slight chance were my reg would freeze up. Thank god it didn't.
Other than that i was warm and what else could you wish for a day of good diving.... "MAYBE FLA'.....ILMAO
Safe diving to ya all......

I don't know how cold is too cold yet. My computer did record a cold current of 79° on at 90 feet, down from the 82° on the rest of dive.
But it is supposed to get into the mid 70's here in January.

Ok, after reading 5 pages of "Cold" I've come to the conclusion that most of the people on this board are NUTS!!!

Bob
of course, that's only my opinion

Many years ago four Glasgow city elders were discussing the attributes of their town. The poverty is terrible said the one, the violence is shocking said another, it rains all the time said a third. Aye but its no cold enough, said the fourth, so they moved to Nova Scotia.
