a question about ice

[pink_fins]

I ice dive and know you can follow the spokes back to the hole if there is trouble.

Well, I was at a party last night and a guy out of the blue came up to me with this question.

"If you broke thru the ice, would you look for the dark colored hole.(broken ice)
and try to get out thru it?" I told him "No" you would look for the light of the broken hole.

Need some thoughts on this subject.
Hope this makes sense ?
