80 degrees, but not to a depth of 150 feet. That would be very
difficult, even for the sun. It does not penetrate water that far,
and the masses of cold water underneath the surface water (at 80
degrees), would overwhelm it and cool it significantly at 150 feet.



Yes 150 feet!

I believe that means the water has to be at least 150 deep - not that the
temperature is 80 degrees to a depth of 150 feet.
