Specialty - Ice or Dry Suit

[aknelsonone]

I can second those say dry suit class first. Some stores are offering a pool session
prior to the ice dive.  Not only to refresh blowing bubbles but also to get folks used to the harnesses and procedures and for divers new to dry suits.
Keep in mind ice diving should make fun, a dry suit makes more sense than being cold.
Personally for a ice dive I would rent a dry suit if I do not owe one.

By the way: I never had a official dry suit class. And I do not think that a seasoned diver will need one if he has the time to figure the kinks in a confined water session (as mentioned above). Instructors remember it always depends how you ask .....and there not always rules saying you can not combine classes...
