Ice Diving
Hey Jon,
 Thanks for the info. I would love to be there as I've seen your Ice video's and the folks at Pirate's Cove are Top Notch but I have a good problem/reason for not being there! I'll be in Puerto Aventuras, Mexico: Cenote's Diving! Lets see Ice Diving----Cenote's Diving? Both exhilarating, but one is [glow=red,2,300]Way C00oooL Inner Space,[/glow] and one is Way CccoLD!  One ? Although I've got two good cold water regs which have not given me problems in 41 deg water. Is it over kill to Ice dive with a redundant system? Is one really needed? I'm hopping to Ice dive some time this year or next but first I want to get Info! Training / Experiance, Yes! Certs, I don't really care!  Opinions Accepted and appreciated!    Thanks,     Rik O+< |

Re: Ice Diving
Ice diving w/ a redundant system is a GREAT idea. I don't like to use doubles ice diving, because it's waaaay too difficult to get in and out of the ice hole.
But H-Valves I like a lot for ice diving.... |

Re: Ice Diving
I agree. H-valve works great ice diving.
It is a good way to go. ALso, handy when you are in the Wolf River in December. Doug |

Re: Ice Diving
Question? when you guys ice dive and want to get out do you just back up to the hole and have two buddies pull you out ? or do you try to boost yourselves out with out any help?
I was trained to back up to the ice and let my buddies pull me out. gail |

Re: Ice Diving
We back up to a corner of the hole and let a buddy help us up to a sitting position on the ice. This tends to be the easiest and gives the guys on the surface something to do to warm up.

Re: Ice Diving
That's why I won't wear doubles ice diving...I won't subject the poor people on the surface to lifting me AND my doubles out of the water ;D

Re: Ice Diving
I like the redundancy of doubles, and I find my double 80s quite comfy. The double 130s are a bit much. You usually ice dive with Doug. He had no problem plucking me out of the water with my 80s on. Just like a big crane... |

Re: Ice Diving
This is true - a smaller set of doubles would make things easier
Buuut....I can't justify buying another set of smaller doubles just to use ice diving |
