Ice Diving

Actually I do mind! This is a serious topic and for you to make fun of us who have to deal with frozen lakes in unfair!

Just Kidding!!! Wish I had your kind of ice diving!

Murdock,
I completely understand where your question was coming from. There are a bunch of classes out there that cover material that one can learn on their own and don't need to spend $$ on. UW Photo, Peak Bouyancy, etc...

But, IMO, ice diving is not one of them...

ice diving is pretty serious stuff, think of it on par with wreck penatration. Ice diving is yet another kind of overhead environment with it's own peculiatities and tasks, like MikeF. mentioned.

Good point... I guess I'll just get some experience under my belt before making any decisions about ice diving. It is something I'd like to at least experience though.
