Hats off to you Dave! I dive a wet suit only also but the coldest water I can handle and still function is 47 degrees F. When I've gotten into 43F water I feel like I'm at 190' on compressed air (really Narc'ed) and numbed with cold also.
I like Cozumel, Coasta Maya, Belize, especially Turneff Atoll, the Caymans, and Bahamas, the Phillipines, California (but the water is cold), and the Baja coast, and oh yes La Florida mi vida!! In Florida I've Beach, Wreck, Cave, Night, dived as many places as I can and may, from Pensacola, Destin, to Peacock, Little River and Ginney, Diepolder III and Eagles Nest, Paradise Sink, Croaker Hole, Silver Springs (when I was a Lifeguard), Orange Grove (shallow and deep), Manatee springs, The Rocky Horror Tunnel, Jupiter, St.Pete, Naples Spring, Miami, The Keys and a bunch I've not mentioned. It as always is FUN!!!
Best wishes and I hope the Sequoia and Dawn Redwood grow rapidly!!
