Very nice shots, I loved them - especially the mercury or ice shot.
What thickness undergarment were you wearing?

Gary's method is the only ice training we're gonna get around here. It's the coldest night of the year here, in the 30s

Thats ok Gary's method is almost as fun
Gary D.:You know you can practice phase one of ice training at home and its simple.
Go into the freezer compartment of the refrigerator and remove the ice cube tray.
Place some of the cubes into a 16oz glass.
Pour Cruzan Rum into glass to one-third the available volume.
Fill remaining volume with a Cola product.
Take glass and its contents to an easy chair and sit down.
Recline the chair.
Sip contents.
Place glass on head and dream about being under ice.
Repeat as needed.

We sure had some fun this weekend! 18 divers (11 students) got together for an inland diving weekend as we held a PADI Ice Diver course.
The rest of the pictures here: http://www.turut.no/isdykkerkurs.htm
Finally I got to do some diving 2 minutes from home!

Here's my humble ice-face!
Yeah, it WAS fun! And with a high motivation factor added; ICE COLD beer at the local pub afterwards! :14: We were 20 divers teaming up making our definitive inland environment pub/bar into a real "scuba bar"! A 70 minutes uw-pictures and video show on the big screen made it complete.
For the more seriously oriented, this course gave us a grand opportunity to (again) be in an under water environment without 100% control... Fresh water (= to much lead!), very little light and no fixed objects to focus on, gave even the most experienced ones of us something to work with, as we tried to stay at a certain depth in open water. It's difficult!!!
The depht was about 60 feet. I made the deepest dive at 62 feet, but then I crash dove into the silth with gained speed from about 20 feet depth, and with plenty of mass to go with as I must have been about 12 lbs overweighted... If you wonder, the answer is NO, there ain't any visibility in two feet of mud...
