Re: Ice Diving
I was one of those overeager tenders! ;D  I felt three tugs on the line and pulled the guy backwards.  We were skiing on the ice at the time and he got the rope between his legs.  I had it on video, but I can't find the tape. Sad

Myself, I would rather go without the tender on the line except when skiing.  As long as the rope is anchored well, you shouldn't have to worry about loosing your line/hole.  It would be similar to river diving in the Fox just before Skumbago breaks up.  Then I use an innertube/flag that I can't pull under and a line around my wrist.  If I get under the ice, I'll know when my wrist stops.  A biner thru the backpack would probably be better.

A better knot would be one of the figure eight knots that climbers use.  When wet it takes an axe to remove them.
