ice diving, how many years/dives?

[DetectorGuy]

I was reading my dive log books the other day, and I started tracking dates and dive #s for some milestone dives. This is how it shook out for me (so far):

#161     Divemaster Certification               9-18-10          PADI
#205     First spearfishing dive                   9-16-11         90 miles off Florida
#260     Most recent Dive                         8-25-12         15 minutes from the house

To date I have 260 dives, and 50 of them have been ice dives. Of the 50 ice dives, some have been better than others but all of them have been good. Not saying its a good thing, but I've done 75 solo dives (not counting being under the ice alone). It's not every ones cup of tea, but I like the solitude of ice diving and solo diving. If anyone is thinking about ice diving certification... don't put off the opportunity
