I live in Florida so generally dont have to travel in the winter if I want to go diving. But for you others up north do you travel in the winter so you dont lose skills?

I take a dive vacation every year.  Bonaire most years.  I also dive dry in Winter, at home in AR

OP messed up the poll by omitting option 4:  I live in the north and I ice dive in the winter.

Might do a quarry dive or two in the winter. Otherwise, pool work.

I don’t dive warm OR salt water.

We dive locally in the summer and travel to dive in the winter.

I actually think I’m going to try ice diving this winter,  now that I’m diving dry again.

I pretty much ONLY dive during the winter. The caves are the same temperature but the air is much more bearable than during May-September LOL

Another month or two begins ice diving season.  Water isn't much colder than it is during the rest of the year.  It's just colder topside. The club I dive with has an enclosed trailer they have a heater in to Don and doff gear

Last weekend I dove lake wazee and it was 39 deg at 100 ft. Pretty much the same temp as when I dove in August.
