Ice Dive 3-1-2009

Here are a couple more photos.

One of the things we like to do ta stay warm out there is to stay hydrated and fed.  During surface intervals providing divers with hot apple cider and hot soup keeps em ready to do repetitive dives. 
John really captured the best TREASURE with his find of the wallet  ;D 
The shelter is really very simple to set up and quite inexpensive to build.  Each module costs about $150 in parts.  They also are quite easy to set up and tear down after a day of diving.  I must admit that I'm a bit of a wuss about the cold.  I LOVE ice diving, but I really love doing it and staying nice and toasty warm.  Ask the divers who use the shelter and they will readily admit that one of the challenges is TRULY not overheating when in the shelter....

Here is a REAL SHORT video of of Brad, who completed the training for his ice diver certification this last Sunday.
