ice diving, how many years/dives?

[Hydro]

As for starting gear, a pony will be handy, its up to you what size, most people i think opt for the 30-40 cf range. the other gear everyone else will have,

I consider icing prolly the most relaxing kind of diving, esp if you can drive out on the lake.

i guess for dives, i wanted to go the winter i got certified, but no one to go with, i think my first ice dive was somewhere between 50-100 .
