I was considering doing some diving this week, but all of a sudden I realized I have some serious boyancy issues to deal with at the moment...
I suspect the season for diving at my place might have come to an end for the next few months, since I dont have any plans of diving solo beneath the ice.
So, the last local dive for this season seems to have been the 26 minute, 30 feet dive I did on the 1st of december while the snow was falling. A whooping 3C/37F in the water
If your face aint numb.. It aint a cold water dive!
I wonder if periodic short term exposure to risk can decrease your longterm risk of accidents. I hope it does..
Short of ice diving I guess that would slow you down some.
Here in Maine ice has come very early. Some ponds already have people on them for fishing. Last year were were diving 100% open water a week into January which was uncommonly late.
Make it a point to inflate your BC while rinsing and for storage. That activity will reinforce the oral inflation procedure. I often orally inflate my BC before getting in the water. The compressed air saved is trivial but again it's good reinforcement of the skill.
Why let a little ice stop you? Grab a chain saw, a few buddies, a big pot of chili and go diving.
Chilli is good and chainsaws are fun. However buddies is in shortage
(the diving kind that is)

Mike,
If you check Tigerman's profile, he doesn't have certification in be in an "overhead" invironment, so swimming under the ice without it might cause the scuba police to make some comments.
Tigerman,
Why don't you consider taking a nice long vacation here in sunny Florida (where it's only cold to us wimps that consider anything under 70 F freezing)?
