I've done some icediving with the inspiration..

the last tie I did it the air temp was -25f and the water would start to feeze over as soon as someone stopped stiring it..

water near the surface was right at freezing, the next 15 ft was aroud 35f, with about 39f on the bottom

a few years back, I was in salt water that was 28f, I retrieved what had to be retrieved and got my ass out quickly..
