Visit "Blue Water Scuba" aka the Blue Hole down in Pelham, AL.  Bottom
temps low 50s (summer) or high 40s (late fall, never tried winter).
Without a drysuit.  The "shrinkage" due to the cold will let it slip
right through the knot :-)  First time there, ~10 years ago, end of
September, water was warmer than the air, and me in a 3mm.   Fun...
