Specialty - Ice or Dry Suit

[drbmac]

Watching several years of students taking the ice diving class, more wetsuits than drysuits are common(coolers of hot water and a turkey baster are needed).  Ice diving is a lot of work for a little bit of diving and is more about getting out and doing something in the winter.  I would not under any circumstances try to use a drysuit for the first time under the ice. Ice diving classes are usually held in 30 feet of water or less and drysuits are a real pain in less that 30 feet of water.  And as far as Superior and Ice diving is concerned, make sure your Regs are cold water ready, a freeze up of your reg will end the dive in a hurry.
