Do you think I'm some crazed Canadian?  I only dive in North Carolina waters 
in the summer.....when you can make a 110 foot dive in your bathing suit 
without being particularly uncomfortable.  Trust me, anything colder than the 
Florida springs and I don't go.
I wasn't always like this.  I used to dive in rock quarries in the dead of 
winter.....I remember forgetting my boots once and making the dive anyway.... 
it wasn't bad once my feet went numb.  Anyway, I've grown some brains since 
then.
