I'll be moving to Ohio for graduate school this fall and was
tossing the idea around of trying out some ice diving while I'm up there.
Looking online and talking to others in the north who do ice dive it sounds like
being on a tether with a support person above is the norm... which sounds assinine to me!
To me it would seem redundancy with a good buddy and cave lining techniques would work just fine
and that being on a tether would create many more problems than it solves.
I'm curious to hear the opinions of those who ice dive and are DIR/tech etc.. as to what they do
in regards to the ice overhead and techniques for diving it. Seems to me that the ice should be treated as any
other cave or wreck in concept (line running etc.)
I am intro to cave and fundamentals certified by the way.
