50° ish year round. Gives the average person a 50/50 chance to swim 50 yards in a shock drop fully clothed. I'd say half that if you are a drunk dad.

I'm an idiot and have swum in about 58 F several times, but that was always with a careful adjustment, and on a beach where I could warm up and basically do 15-30 minutes in the water, then 40-60 minutes out of the water. I just loving love the ocean too much not to go in. 50 F, though? Fuckin' nope.

I have a weird relationship with cold. I’ve trunked it surfing in 2 degree water while recovering from mono and did fine. Granted I was 19 at the time, and me 16 years later would probably physically restrain me then from going in the water. Otherwise, I’m good with cold temps and loving love them. I love sleeping with the windows cracked when it’s below freezing; having cold fresh air is the quickest way to a restful sleep for me. Looking forward to retiring above the Arctic Circle in 30 years when that’s the one place left that might have seasons.

My close neighbor is a spear free diver and we went diving out of west port jetty on the coast for 3 hours in a 5mm suit. I live right down the road from an excellent training spot for ocean divers but I need to buy a full suit first. He’s nothing special body wise just really use to it I guess.

Drysuits are pretty good but I'd still get pretty cold in winter, especially diving at depth where the insulating layers get compressed to nothing. Hollis makes some kick-rear end semi-dry suits that kept me toasty all day on working dives. The best part of diving freezing weather is the water is warmer than the air  The worst part is regulators/gear freezing the moment you exit

I love diving. The coldest dive I've ever done was Silfrá fissure in Iceland: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Silfra They say "can be comfortably dived in a dry suit" by I say my rear end like hell, any human being gets an instant ice cream headache when they put their face in 36 degree water. That said, totally worth it. The coolest dive I've ever done: There are a few dive operators that offer "blackwater" dives where you go at night and dive in 5-10,000 foot deep water. Everyone is clipped to a series of lines hanging off the sides of the boat with a carabiner hooked to your BCD, so you're not about to get lost or anything unless you do something real dumb. I've done it twice, and both times I spent the first couple of minutes sucking down half my air as I stared into the black infinity that surrounds our tiny lights and our little boat and try to get a grip on myself before I relax and find it mindblowingly cool. Though if you stare out into that black water too much you can feel the willies start billowing up again as your brain tries to find patterns in emptiness. The water and the stuff suspended in it absorbs what precious illumination you have, so you really get the impression that blackness is just sucking the light away. You feel very, very tiny, and you never know whether something at the very limits of your light's reach is a bit of trash, more plankton, a school of squid or pod of bottlenose dolphin, or something hungry. Apparently t's not uncommon for big pelagics to get curious. They have even had threshers show up and start to behave aggressively, and everyone gets out of the water real drat quick when that happens. I've never been lucky/unlucky enough to have anything big come visit, but it's quite an experience without seeing any large animal life. Plus the plankton you see is sometimes quite large and truly surreal, alien stuff. The most defining aspect of it to me though is how vividly you can feel you mind looking for patterns in all that emptiness, and imagining monsters in every pale curdle in the dark. 11/10 I loving love cosmic horror, I'll do it a third time when I make it back to Kona.

I've done ice dives in lakes with a guide line and a full face mask and still go the icecream headache of room for the first few min just with the thin line if exposed skin around the mask. Did it to say I did it, never again without good reason.

I thought you all might find this cartoon interesting. I'm not sure when it was published; I found it in The Quigmans, by Buddy Hickerson, in a collection published in 1990.

Internet Wizard posted:Mowing the lawn is another one of those privileged bougie excesses that needs to go straight into history’s dumpster (much like frequent flyer programs). Burning fossil fuels to make your invasive monoculture look better instead of cultivating your perfectly arable land. Get outta here. To move up a frequent flyer tier, a friend who works for Microsoft flew from Seattle to San Francisco, then flew back without leaving the airport. Wasn’t allowed to buy the ticket and not go, or just pay a fee. Chose to joylessly waste time and resources. So yeah, I agree with the description “privileged bougie excesses.”

This also goes with the narrative of him taking Eric or Don Jr. to a Yankees game when they were in college, and then smacking them around for wearing a jersey and telling them "go put on a loving suit."

Icon Of Sin posted:Scuba is my therapy, and the shop I used to work for was partnered with a non-profit to try and bring it to vets. This same non-profit did a bunch of other stuff (archery, curling, biking, surfing, etc) but it was really nice introducing people to the underwater world.  gently caress lionfish. I’m from Fort Lauderdale, and I say KILL EM ALL. Mind if I ask what non-profit it was? I’m generally only available to dive during the week, which means I end up not diving very often. I’d love to help out.
