It always seemed strange to me that ice diving never earned the rep that cave diving has. You know, the most dangerous sport on earth, etc... It is an overhead environment.
In caves and wrecks, I have my spool and back-up spools so I'm managing my own line. In ice diving, you are tied to the end of a rope and someone else is managing the line. Feels a little freaky...
Ice dives are like short cave dives with the added danger of your air system freezing.
Here's a dive video I did years ago. low res, low tech.
Annnnnd being able to experience a truly unique overhead environment with only an AOW cert.The biggest difference between Ice Diving and other recreational specialties is the amount of work involved in setting up the site.
True enough, but......//... it definitely has elements of technical diving....but in my opinion, its not quite the same thing.
It is a very blurred line....
