no surface support crew? no safety diver? no warming huts? running your own line and assuming youll find your way out?
Only said we didn't have harness with a tender... and no saftey divers....
Usually there was someone on the surface... (not alot they can do if your underwater)
AND WE DON'T ASSUME ANYTHING
That's rule number two....
Funny

I'm in Michigan and looking to extend my diving season a bit. Ice diving looks like an interesting option, but I'm having a hard time finding a shop with either ice diving charters or classes on their calendar. I'm also concerned about doing a class like this with some random instructor.
My OW cert is through PADI, but all my specialties (and AOW) are through SDI and I tend to prefer the more rigorous SDI coursework. I have a bit of overhead experience (Bonne Terre mine) but nothing compared to what I'd expect with ice.
Any suggestions on how I might pursue this?
