  Jim, I may be crazy , but I'm not stupid. I'll give you a
better idea - move to Florida. In the late summer there is 
real cold water that comes up from GOM and underlies the 
warm Gulfstream. I was diving with Bill Deans, hit this layer, and
all of our light heads shattered from the temp change. At
Billy's prices, I don't call dives, so I froze it out, but 
at least we had the 84 degree stuff to deco in. That was
when I realized you guys must really love to dive. -G
