part of my course is how you react getting out of the hole and post dive , 1 you get out of the hole with help, you get help stripping gear , and walk into the heated area get dry and then come out to tender /watch .....no hanging around after the dive outside that's when "things freeze" as you already could be cold and would possibly not notice till to late
 
I think of it as feeling like a landed salmon.

Actually a good description! Last year I fell off the boat ladder in high seas. The guy who was crewing serves as a safety diver for ice diving. He hauled me up like he would an ice diver. :D
 
actually bob I was one of your tossers (with 3 other guys ) siltboy was MUCH easier
 
yeah where is Conair haven't seen him here lately
 
@abnfrog, next time you get up the energy to run an ice diving course, pencil in an 'alumni' ice dive day. You could sit back and direct. :)

It would be a blast!

-we could put your chair back where it belongs...

The wind blew it into the hole, it sank upright, the sun through the hole was a beam centered on the chair. What was missing in this picture? :wink:

And just in case there is somebody out there who hasn't seen this brilliant vid before, a peek at what we all love:

 
FWIW, I was the tosser, not the tossee....
Not in the British sense of the word, I assume?
