Speaking of cold water diving, Jack Connick has started a new Flickr group called Cold Water Diving. Meant to discuss and post photos taken in temperate to cold water conditions, the group also aims to share tips on dealing with dry suits and shooting photos in chilly water situations. Generally, Jack defines cold water diving as below 65º F. Brrr...for me that seems very chilly. However, for Vidar.a -- whose photo is spotlighted in this post -- he'd probably think 65º is downright tropical. Is that snow in the background? And you're diving?! Boy oh boy, Florida has made my blood thin.
Anyway, if you want to see for yourself that cooler water diving can be just as beautiful as tropical diving, head over to Cold Water Diving and check out some of those cool photos.
1. Someone correct me here...
Isn't water temperature of 50-70 F considered "temperate?" Anything under 50 F would be "cold water." Also stands to reason that anything over 70+ is "tropical" or "warm water."
