They are a bit cooler but most of those retention ponds are heated up water this time of the year as they are small bodies of water where there is no live stream adding fresh water to them to cool it. River water would be cooler then ponds but it does heat up too this time of the year. Its mostly the act of getting into the gear fully and getting out ...you sweat your butt off ...even in winter time around Florida..its not the easiest stuff to get on and off and there is a lot of weight from all the gear..tanks...suit...mask...fins...weights...most divers have to add on about 20 lbs or more weight to sink down. Your body buoyancy dictates how much dive weights you need, not everyone is the same..and fresh water and salt water and brackish water too, brackish water is a mix of fresh and salt water.
Wow. I'm all the more thankful for their work.
