New Ice DIVER

[alnineball]

So what do you do after getting ow certified last summer, follow it up with AOW in fall, spend a week in Roatan in Feb and live in Minnesota. Cut a hole through 25 inches of Ice and jump in. I have to say the first thing I learned is if theres Ice on top the water below is friggin COLD. The second, A Dry suit is in my future!
  Just to clarify, I spent this weekend out with 6 other divers and A Divers World getting my Ice Diver Cert. Its def a lot of work to get set up, but its worth it. I will def be doing that again. It is a really unique way to dive. Seeing the ice above and the water clarity for being in a lake was awsome. At least it was awsome untill a few people try muck diving or drag the rope in the silt .
  Now bring on the warm weather and get rid of that Ice I'm readdy to go! I'm looking forward to alot of local diving this summer.
I have to add a big Thanks to A divers World too. The class was ran well. Great set up, great people. Even the Food Pat cooked was edible, JK hehe. It was Good too. They ran a great class. I felt safe the entire time we were there.
WHAT AN EXPERIENCE! WHATS NEXT?
