We lost 2 divers about 2 yrs ago, father and son who lived on a lake, lake was not fully frozen over, they walked out, went diving, got lost , I guess they went toward shore to try to break their way out, but at the shore line the ice was too thick, ran out of air they both did, and died together.
Any diving can be dangerous , Ice is not IF you take the precautions and safety measures I spoke about earlier. As with any dive, if you don't take the precautions and do something foolish , you could end up losing your life. Diving under the ice w/o ropes and ppl watching out for you up top, is not safe. Nor is diving solo into a wreck or cave, not using a reel or have back up gear and the training to begin with, you could end up going OOA after you silted out a compartment and die from that.
