Their are no other freedivers in the area, an hour or more of here. I've asked around at both the of the dive shops in the area, one which is five minutes from my house. Everyone around here goes for scuba diving.

Hence part of the reason why I'm such a pussy when I dive. I don't press my limits by a long shot, it's not worth it. Then again, I also realize freediving isn't the only thing that can cause you stop breathing for eternity. A car accident can kill just as quickly as freediving and extremely few people ever bother to wear a helmet or any kind of padding while they're out driving on the open road with all the other idiots. When it comes to protecting yourself while participating in something like freediving everybody is all for it though. Strange human behavior.

I did see the same scenario play itself out more last week/weekend. On Lake Sunapee as of last Wednesday it was still around 65 degrees down at 25 feet but last Sunday it in the upper 40s at 31 feet at Goshen Ocean, while in the lower 60s on Lake Sunapee. Both bodies of water have the same surface temp. The dive sites are only 20 minutes apart and the closest spot on each lake I would say is probably 10 minutes apart by car. I just can figure out why I see such a dramatic difference in water temperatures the way I do.
