I draw the line at 65F. I will wear a full 5mm until the water hits almost 80F. The warmer the water the more relaxed I am = less air consumption.

Drysuit, thick undersuit, electric heating, full face mask and there is no too cold 🙂👍

Cold is a state of mind... until unconsciousness then it's just a slower state of mind.

Completely frozen solid is to cold. But generally I don't like it if it's below -15c above water or above 30c for that matter.

My even coldest dive was about 15C with 3mm suit + 2mm shorty, gloves and socks. I was not at even got cold during movement.

Coldest I got to dive in was 1°C and I was getting pretty chilly but still manageable. It's not like it can get much worse at this stage.

Ice dive at -12. Things shrink at those temperatures. I wore a 14mm wetsuit. You cannot believe how cold the water was the first minutes in the water.

Down 10 15/16C 2mm shorty. Down to 11C 3.5mm spearfishing closed cell suit. Below 11C 5mm wetsuit down to around 8C - but short dive!

7mm in 3°c for 4+ hours last Saturday 02/26/22. It's not the suit or gloves, but the feet for me. Need to bash them against the rock to warm up every hour or so.

A 5mm shorty under a 5mm full wetsuit works perfect for me in 50-60° water.

Ehm, when ice diving the water is still above freezing (otherwise it'd be ice). Not sure what that first option is supposed to mean.

How cold is too cold for you when it comes to water temperature?
