Snorkel crews endure nature's cold plunge
Preliminary health & wellness studies report that an effective cold plunge may be completed at temperatures ≤ 15 °C (59 °F) for at least 15 minutes per week, with submersion up to the neck.

The average temperatures for each subbasin (and corresponding drainage) surveyed by our 2023 Nampa crew are as follows:
