Corrected entry: Just before they enter the water, they state the water temperature is 1.1°C. Waters temperature at it's maximum density is 3.98°C which it certainly would be at that depth.

Corrected entry: Just before they enter the water, they state the water temperature is 1.1°C. Waters temperature at it's maximum density is 3.98°C which it certainly would be at that depth.
Correction: Temperature is not dependent on density in the way this entry implies. Also, the density given is for fresh, not salt water. The normal range of temperature for all the deep oceans is from 0-3 °C. A temperature of 1.1 °C is perfectly normal.
