Inspired by another thread, what best describes your views on ice diving?
 
I somehow doubt I will ever get super excited about it but ya never know. It is definitely on my list of things to do eventually. I might love it when I get around to trying it.
 
Would like to try it sometime. But living in Northern California not sure there is any place where ice diving is doable. Maybe some shallow lake in the Sierras? Not sure.
 
should be a multi choice poll, I have never would like to try it and those dudes are &^%#@&*^ nuts would be my choices.
 
I've seen some really great ice diving pictures and would love to do it someday....after the appropriate training, of course.
 
I don't enjoy going through the ice, but I do it when I need too. Unfortunatly if I need too, it's because someone else went through the ice when they didn't want too. :shakehead:
 
Ice diving is awesome! Superior vis, no currents and an awesome cloudshaped ice-sealing (if done in a lake or mine-area)

But ice diving as any other diving activity should be done with great responsibility. One line-commander per divepair or one line-commander and only one divepair in the water at once.

Ice diving is something you should do if you ever get the chance! You'r welcome to visit sweden anytime during the winter tp experience it!

Best regards.
 
Seen pics, looks beautiful.. Now if we can do something to warm it up I am all in. Until then I say NOOOOO...

I guess it would be cool to do it once.
