Saltwater doesnt freeze at 0 degress C dumbass! Normally around -2 to -3 degrees C. I icedive every year, so I should know! ;-)

stupid, water bellow the ice is warmer than the air above.

If water will be bellow 0*C there will be an ICE instead of water... simple phisics law

Hard to believe. Do you have back-up documentation. When did this accident occurr. Who shot the footage Where was it filmed. Who was the diver? Why is there nothing on Goggle News about this?

@s1weir His demand valves froze, they were 10 degrees colder than they could handle. He probably passed out attempting to get his air flowing and stopped breathing.

Well, in that enviroment, I sure hope they were using enviromentally sealed regulators... I'm kind of surprised they weren't using full face masks though(from a comfort, and avoiding frostbite point of view).

A number of issues could have contributed, anything from hypothermia, to shock/hypoxia due to vasoconstriction or a hood that sealed too tight, to just plain old heart attack. I have a feeling the cause would be less of a mystery if his first stage had been frozen.

Too much cold could have damaged the air cylinder regulator's internal part !!
