Randy, as far as I know, there are in my country several cave diving
sites wich water is  on the 35*F /2*C to 38*F/4*C in summer, also
surface altitude is something like 6000 feet asl., depths are up to 200'
and it stills descending. The name of the cave is Guell de Sescorjada,
its the resurgence of an underground river.

Whe do there cave diving, with standard cave diving gear and dry suits. 

Whe only can go there in summer, however you have to walk uphill for 1
hour to reach the cave, in winter the roads are closed due the snow and
you should have to walk/skiing for 10 miles, so we just dive there on
summer, and then the water is warm to 38*F.
