We start with the fact that there aren't many divable waters in the Denver area. Then we add to the fact that some are closed in the winter. Finally we deal with the fact that Denver is a lot warmer than a lot of people think, so there really isn't much ice. Consequently, there is not much ice diving in the Denver area.
If you want some ice diving, Turquoise Lake in Leadville is a good choice, if you don't mind diving in extreme cold at over 10,000 feet altitude. You can go to Jefferson Lake, too, but you would have to haul your gear quite a ways up a closed, snow packed road and then dive at 10,600 feet.
