I did it for the first time in February. Alittle cold to start with but, warmed up. Did a specialty class and saw a completely different side of our finger lakes. Get a dry suit, a qualified instructor and get in! The blacked out mask drills in the pool were the biggest confidence builders I have ever done! Every serious diver should experience this training.
I would like to change my older vote of "Never done it, but would like to do it" to "I love it"! It's really quite an experience. In that particular lake the visibility was only a few meters. Finding the hole again would be totally impossible without your rope and the guy holding it. Will certainly repeat this next winter.
I've done it more than once but I can't say it really sparked an interest. The 1st few times it was youth and the novelty of doing something not many at the time were doing. I think ice diving is like deep diving, something done as a means to accomplish something else. If I go ice diving again it probably won't be just to dive under the ice. But then again I'm an easy mark when it comes to diving.
ah,though..there's the social aspect of a group of like minded...divers...
