Rick if you want to get in some real warm water diving head for Alki... 54F yesterday... I don't think I could stand water much hotter!
Ya bunch of nutcases! Coldest I have dove was 60 wearing a 3 mil suit, no gloves, no hood. It was 76 at the surface but we hit a thermocline at about 25' that 'bout froze a few appendages off. Needless to say, I put a little more thought into my thermal attire before diving a new site these days.
Unkie, I would invite you to come try that 60 degree water to see if it broiled ya, but the Game Warden that was waiting for us when we surfaced wasn't too happy about our new found swimmin' hole and advised us not to return. <sheepish look>
Dive often, Dive safe
