Man guys, you are making me so jealous. I want to learn to ice dive so bad. We don't have alot of ice situations here, but we do dive alot in near freezing water. If ya train for the worse case scenario and have to jump in 38 degree water, your good to go.

Looking forward to the pics.

Lack of significant ice sacked our class for this year it looks like. Oh well next year I hope. I hope you had a great time, it seems like it will be a neat experieince.

You know you can practice phase one of ice training at home and it’s simple.

Go into the freezer compartment of the refrigerator and remove the ice cube tray.

Place some of the cubes into a 16oz glass.

Pour Cruzan Rum into glass to one-third the available volume.

Fill remaining volume with a Cola product.

Take glass and it’s contents to an easy chair and sit down.

Recline the chair.

Sip contents.

Place glass on head and dream about being under ice.

Repeat as needed.

What a great day, started out left the house at 0630 and we finally made it up North to the lake about 0900 (joint training with okanogan county) took all of thee hours to get throught the Ice that was supposed to be 6" thick, turned out to be more like 24-25 inches thick :O

finally got a diver in the water round 1200 backup with feet in water tethered with his ow tender and 90% close by. about 23 feet to the bottom 38 degree water temp and one he** of a good time!

Topside temp was pushin 50 no wind and lots of sun, and with all that gear on it was downright HOT, the icy hole in the water never looked so good

Made two dives and took some pics before and during. was the first time down for me and my camera so rookie shots all around but I think I gat a few good un's Check my gallery for the whole lot!

Twenty-Four inches? Who measured it? hehehe

It usually goes the other way. Glad you had fun. Our ice is about history.

Nice pics. Glad to see your small lake vis is just like ours.
