The best part of my Ice Diving Cert was showing that card two weeks later to a dive shop in Mexico. Hahaha

It's cold until everything goes numb. Doesn't take long.

You know how when you have bad news to tell someone it sometimes helps to make it worse news?

"Mom, I'm pregnant and my baby daddy is your age."

"What???!!!"

"Actually, I'm really not pregnant. I got an "F" in math, but thought I'd put things into perspective for you."

You can always do a polar bear plunge before your first ice dive.

Wanted to ask ice divers whether you still feel icy cold when diving with proper undergarment and dry suits?

No. A dry drysuit and something like Weezle extreme+ or Santi 400x keeps you comfortable for 75 minutes easily. Problem is, like always, if you sweat your garments wet before dive. So do not wear your drysuit when cutting the hole or other preparations.

I had no cold issue with my dry suit on during my ice dive course. You also want a good hood...

Ice diving is one of the most adventurous types of diving out there but is a great way to try something completely different.
It is challenging, but with some preparation it can be the most beautiful activity.
Can't wait to do it.
