Just completed my PADI Ice Diver training here in Nova Scotia, Canada! We had an excellent instructor with Torpedo Ray's Scuba who taught us cold water equipment maintenance, proper tethering and signaling techniques, and went through several rescue scenarios. Some pictures attached.

Hey Nick (assuming you are the Nick I know from the shop). Didn't know you joined the Board. I'd do the ice thing if we didn't usually spend part of winter in Florida--and if I had a drysuit of course.

Hi TMHeimer, I'm not sure we know each other but there are definitely a few Nicks that frequent T-Rays. Florida sounds nice about now, I'll have to get diving down there someday
 
I did a dive with Torpedo Rays back in 2010, nice group of people.

Were you diving in a lake near Dartmouth?

Looks like a fun time.
 
That's really cool, no pun intended. For some reason I thought that any algae greening the water would have died or at least gone dormant if the water was cold enough to freeze on the surface. Interesting!

Yes the lake was Lake William in Waverley which is close to Dartmouth
