Ice Diving Anyone?

[AandA]

.....And it was a GREAT day to be under the ice!  ArcFlash Mcdiver, Tullibee and I all made it out onto the ice.  The air temp was moderate in the 20s.  The skies were cloudy sadly to say.  A bit of sun woulda helped.  The ice was pretty darn thick at about 20 inches already  No concerns driving our vehicles right up to our dive site.  Opening the hole was not an issue (no problemo with a chainsaw that has a 36" bar and a skiptooth chain).  When it came to getting the ice out we missed not having our buddy Shooter with his truck and plow (he makes getting the ice out REALLY simple).  The diving was nice and easy.  Viz was about 8' and we were diving over a silt bottom.  Apparently there was a spring not far from our dive site which helps to explain the lower visibility.  Since the temps were moderate we didn't bother to set up our shelter and dove out in the open.  We were quite pleased that even though we were diving out in the open the mosquitoes really werent that bad  :.  We had lots of people, both kids and adults come over and watch (hopefully we got some of them interested in picking up a new winter sport  ;D ).  It was quite simply a wonderful and FUN group of divers. 
I had a GREAT time!  Thanks guys  8)
