Fun Ice dives

[ScubaDiveandTravel]

Hey everyone,

We have a huge Ice class on Feb. 21 and 22 and would like to invite anyone who would like to come along fun diving. We will probably be diving Christmas Lake, but will make a final decision closer to the date. The cost for fun dives is $15. This includes use of the hole and lines, and brats for lunch. Call the store to sign up. We also have a couple of spaces open for our March 6 and 7 Ice class. Fun divers are also welcome on these dates.

Happy Diving,
Richard

Hey Richard, Of course I will be there. Never dove Christmas Lake, used to live near it though. Once again, looking forward to spending a little time blowing bubbles, never did get a chance to dive with you at the Medira that weekend. I just bought a new Jonsered Chainsaw, big engine and a 28" bar, better quite there, I'm getting all excited now. Also have a new ice harness with 400' of rope wrapped in a nice attractive garden reel. Pretty racey I might add, doubles as a "rest stop".

Cool. If you need a "good line tender" for that fancy 400' of rope , let me know!!! I like tending just as much as ice diving itself. (Closer to the food , heat and the other creature comforts) I dove Christmas lake a couple times off of the public access and vis was soo-soo. But we hit a bad time of year with lots of weed growth etc...

Yeah I dove Christmas Lake twice a couple years ago. Once in the spring with 8 foot viz and once in the summer with 0 viz. I don't think I'll go back there again. Since we're talking ice diving here though the viz is bound to be better. Someone post a review or some pics of the event for the rest of us divers in hibernation.

Here is a picture of my loverly wife in Christmas lake during the February Ice Dive. The vis was about 35-40' with good light through the ice.
