It is not easy to go diving these days but I have managed to go today in the morning... Please check the temperature in Celsius at 16.3 metres (53.47 ft)!!!! That's the NW Mediterranean Sea! Scary!

Key Points from the Discussion

The Mediterranean Sea can be surprisingly cold, even in summer, with temperatures as low as 13°C experienced at depth in locations like Tarifa, Spain.
Divers in other regions, such as the South China Sea, often experience warmer water temperatures and different marine ecosystems.
There is a general perception that Mediterranean waters might be warmer, making the reported cold temperatures a point of interest for those considering diving in the region.
