ice diving, how many years/dives?

[eelpout]

My very first dive in the US weas under the ice at Crhistmas Lake in December of 1978 in a borrowed wetsuit : ) My instructor was Dave Gillson. My first Ice Divng class I taught was in December 1980 at Square Lake. There are many ways and equipment configurations that people will suggest you go with. The only thing that I would strongly suggest is to get really comfortable in a drysuit. Stay warm and your instructor will teach you the rest. Ice diving requires a group of people to accomplish. You also have a lot of equipment to cut the hole, maintain the hole and close the hole once you are done.

Some of my buddies are Cave certified so we will dive under the ice and treat it like a cave. If you want more information about how we do it after you are Full Cave certified, PM me.
