If I'm correct, that translates to just over 73 F.  The coldest water I know
of that I dive in is 68. I've dove in these temperatures with no thermal
protection at all, but these days, I find my 3mm a lot more comfortable.  I
can't recall being particularly cold under these conditions, but I don't do
the kind of deco that real cave divers do either.
