Arctic Dive Record?

Russian explorers set world record for deepest under-ice dive
MOSCOW -- The Russian Geographical Society says two of its explorers have achieved the deepest dive ever recorded below ice.

The organization said the dive to 102 meters (335 feet) took place Saturday in the White Sea, an arm of the Barents Sea. They said divers spent 80 minutes in waters with an average temperature of minus 1.5 degrees Celsius (29.3-degree Fahrenheit).

Wow, standard neoprene hoods and wet gloves. Looks like they at least used Argon for suit inflation.

Those Russians are tough.

I wonder if there's a practical depth limit for hot water suits?

I'm sure some commercial divers could answer your question re: hot water suits ;)

I don't know, but I dived with a commercial diver who claimed he used it at 900 ft. off the coast of Venezuela.
