Last week we went to Swiss for some riverdiving, and we hoped to do also some icediving.
The ice is very special, it looks like you are diving on Antartica. But you need to be lucky. Not every year when the roads open there is ice left. But this year we were lucky. The water was cold, only 3 degrees. But it was great. It were also dives at more than 2000m. So also attitude diving. We dove drysuit, 10mm hood, 3 finger mits. And after the dive: wearing flipflops, a tshirt and a shorts :D

Awesome pics!
 
Outside the beauty of the icebergs, did you see any life down there/up there?
yes, small fish. Not a lot and not on picture because a fisheyelens is not the best for taking pictures of 5-10cm small fish.
