On nicer days you could dive somewhat further afield, the limiting factor was how long it took to get back to base after the dive while you were wet. The water was around -2C (around 28F) and ok when immersed and in your wet suit, but once out of the water, you had temperatures that could be far below this and windchill to deal with too.
