Ponder this: if you are relying on a surface tender, should you be under the ice ? After your introduction to under-ice diving, review your equipment. My buddy and I run our own lines, more like a cavern vs. cave dive.

I have taken, and assisted on, 'proper' courses.
You stated, 'and not to rely on surface support'. My buddy and I don't.
Riddle me this: Why don't cave divers use tenders for 'SAFETY' ?

because it wouldn't be safe ... if you have to ask that question i would question your training ............

Since you question my training; Riddle me this: 1 atmosphere in sea water is 33 feet. 1 atm in fresh water is 34 ft. U.S Navy Tables are in FSW. You are diving at 100 feet in fresh water. What is your decompression safety factor since you are in fresh water vs. sea water ? (This question is from the time of watches and depth gauges, before divers relied on dive computers to do all of the calculations).
are you kidding glenn?....since im an instructor trainer/instructor evaluator with 30 + years of teaching (yeah from the 70s been diving ).....i defer to your superior knowledge ....have a nice day

Woodbridge, Virginia ? Tobermory, Ontario, is a long way to go. You could probably find a quarry that is closer. Do you have a special interest in Tobermory ?
