When people talk about coldwater diving they have varying degrees (if you pardon the pun) of measurement. However, for me, proximity to the -2c freezing temperature of seawater is pretty much the defining measure.
So as myself, Jester, the Walkman and Freeflow Bob headed out for a couple of dives at St Catherine's it was with interest that I noted the lowest water temperature ever recorded by my computer, 0.6c. Thankfully it was only this cold for a few metres before it warmed up to a balmy 8c.
We kitted up buddy checked and headed in for what were to be two pretty straight forward fluffy dives to a maximum of 30m.
I'll share some of Jester's pictures, but for me the interesting thing was the cold.
