Ice diving will make most people shudder but I say PeShaw to those people, ice divers are an elite group of scuba divers who don’t let something as trivial as a single-digit temperature limit when they can dive. Ice diving for me always seemed to be the top tier when I was going through my Open Water, looking through the list of specialities and minimum requirements, I always thought that you had to be the best of the best to dive under the ice because the requirements were stricter than the others.

Fishing under ice (ORIGINAL) - ua-cam.com/video/VIs00QjiJZQ/v-deo.html
that was funny :D
Love the closed captions. Simply Scoobert.
🤣🤣🤣
Ice diving is alot of work ... but its a blast... usually colder OUT of the water... l love it
I love Ice Diving. Western Pennsylvania has some nice lakes that get 18"-24" of ice. My first Ice Dive in 1978 was actually in a wetsuit. I lasted about 20 minutes, even though it was warmer in the water than on the surface, by about 40 degrees F... Diving a drysuit is MUCH preferred. The best part of Ice Diving is being able to approach the fish. In Pennsylvania we have a fish called the Tiger Muskie, they look a lot like a freshwater version of a barracuda, and you can swim along next to them until you run out of line. And of course, turning upside down and space walking on the ice. Some great dives.
feels like you are flying. I'm sold!
I live in Michigan and ice dive i totally agree with you. Ice diving is amazing but is much more complicated than recreational diving is. Gear equipment set up and knowing the tricks to safely entering and exiting. My favorite is a heated changing room on the ice.
portable smelt shanty with heater...hell ya!
im working my way up to ice diving, since i live in Canada I currently miss out on diving for the whole winter season.
We are from the Philippines, we are Rice-Diver.
However after our dives, we have some ice-cold beer and talk bubbles, I guess that counts, too, and is much much more fun.
greetings from Dumaguete :-)
Introducing dogs for more views, are we?
BUSTED!!!
🐶🐶🐶
Your dogs 🐶🐶 are so super cute😍
@@annaszekely3013 there actually cats dress up as dogs!
More dogs makes everything better.
Just bought something from you guys amazing thank you so much and great quality
Brownie points are always a temptation. But diving at 15 degree celsius in a 3mm wetsuit taught me my natural underwater habitat is at 26+. 🥶
Anything below 16c you need a drysuit, hood and gloves. Maybe a 7mm with a 5mm shortie over might work down to 12c. Bellow 5c make sure the gloves are dry too. Then you will be completely warm during the dive.
In fact once you have put your kit on you will be so warm your be desperate to get in the water to cool down
@@stephens2r338 i recently had a dive at 15c for approximately 35 minutes with a 7mm rental suit (it had holes lots of holes) it was fun tho.
@@stephens2r338 nah I've dived down in Tassie in Australia down at 11c in a 7mm wetsuit. It's not all that bad.
@@DRXParadox Its all personal preference, fitness, body fat and body shape. A skinny woman may freeze in 18c.
I normally dive in 5c for up to two hours in a drysuit with no problems. In a 5mm l can handle max 1 hour at 15c, a little longer with a hoodie. Remember temperature varies depending upon depth too so a 35 minute dive where 5 minutes were at 11c and the rest was at 20c doesn't count. .
I can tell you that a 20 minute deco stop hanging on a rope at 4m in 15c water isn't much fun
@@stephens2r338 I was diving where the surface water temp was 11c, got down to 7c at 24m. Thanks for your concern though man with all the remembering temperature changes at depth etc, someone with 3 dives could have told me that.
Big fan of your channel! I got my open water in November and your videos are an awesome resource for a new diver like me
Would love to give ice diving a go 👍🏻👌🏻🤙🏻
I'd like to try diving in all different types of dive site.
Best ice diving spots, North America? Europe? Would be a good video.
I though Shaun had grown a beard and fur coat for the winter for a moment 🤣
Very cool video. Will look at ice diving now. :-)
Always ice dived with two divers in the water attached from the surface on one rope.
Depending on visibility and location theres often no point going below ca 10m as you can't see the surface and it feels like any normal cold water dive.
Love walking upside down and jumping down into the hole to get out. Brain and senses get totally confused.
I want to try it, I am wanting to start with some tech diving and also go for some cavern dives.
Definitely subscribed for the dogs. I really need to try ice diving. GAAHHH
There was no ice this year in cologne/Germany 😂😂
My father used to play upside down hockey with his ice buddies
Done it in the lake District in tarns, ice and altitude diving.
I want to ice dive. But still OWD. I have a long way to go, because of money.
To sum it up, you should ice dive because it’s cool
Get it? Cool?
Having the team to help would be clutch.
William Drumm Very. Takes about 12 seconds to pull someone in from a 50ft line under the ice with a few guys.
@@JoshTRavels1 oh right, I was actually just thinking about getting the gear on and off, but that makes total sense.
More of Rupert please
There are more icediving approaches. You can dive like in a cave. You can follow a line that was placed at the divesite by someone else. Or you can use your own reel. Obviously you need a training for this first. But hey, It's worth the effort and money! Also a good reason to improve your skills a lot :-)
Although they both have overhead restrictions, cave driving and ice driving are totally different. One's in the dark and if you get lost or your torch stops working then you die. Anything goes wrong under the ice then tug the line and they will pull you out in a few seconds.
You never just follow someone else's line onto a cave. What would happen if they removed it after their dive while you were still inside? They didn't know had followed them in. You would be lost then dead. To become an ice diver takes one day with two dives. Full cave diver takes a minimum 3/4 weeks. 4 hours studying with two dives every day.
Very different training, different back up equipment, different environmental dangers and different fining techniques are needed. It doesn't improve your diving skills. You learn new one's .
As for is it worth it, ice diving sure... cave diving maybe not! It's the only course where you are constantly asked if your sure you want to do this and a typical dive briefing often starts with "the dive we are doing today, two people died here last year" There's a reason why PADI won't go near cave diving
@@stephens2r338Yes, you are absolutely right. In terms of tech. diving PADI courses are not the best option. That's why I'm not PADI. Reason is, that there are only two PADI divecenters in my country. So most of my friends are IANTD. Including me. But it doesn't mean that PADI can't teach you tech. courses. It is just not so common here. But in US it should not be a big deal I suppose. Right?
And believe me. Nobody would teach you using a tug line under the ice here. You would get nowhere. First corner in a quarry and line would get stuck. We are using a fixed lines and reels. There is no fool, who would remove a fixed line here. The same rules like in a cave.
@@petrsedlak4761 please show me the padi cave diver course, there isn't one and for good reason.
I'm also an IANTD full cave diver. If you are one too then you know that any fixed lines are placed so far into the cave that there in complete darkness and can't be found by accident. Its not possible to see them without a torch and you can't see your exit. You use your own/share a jump line in from the entrance to tie on to the main line and put a line marker down to make sure no one touches it. There could be many diver teams using the same main line.
Quarry diving is not cave diving , you can always surface . Plus you often get to know your local dive area well. This type of complacency could get you killed if there's ice. If you lose the main line could you find it again in poor viability? What about without a mask or broken fin strap? Do you have your own personal jump line?don't have a buddy? Have you tried? Welcome to week two of cave diver training.... you have 1 hour to find the line and no you can't have your mask and fins back!!
Im also a PADI ice diver Instructor. Ice diving is just making a hole in the ice and making sure your linked physically with a line at all times to that hole. You are in constant communication with the surface. One tug for ok, two for more line. Three for pull me out quickly. No idiot would dive in a place where therrs only a 2m exit with the possibility of not finding it again in an emergency. Lost mask, poor visability. Rule one = one continues line back to the surface so you can get back with only touch and your eyes closed
When temps hit single digits we switch to snow skiing. :-o
I’m trying to get into diving because I love swimming but I don’t know what really the type of gear I should get. If anyone can help me on that
It can only go down to 0 C so it can't be *that* bad.
Are you an ice diver by any chance?
why do your videos always cut of at the end ?
What's up with your neck?
Ice dive, for me is an “abomination”. The only reason to have contact with ice is when you put in glass of whisky, no more.
It was a joke, ice dive cool, if you can support he temperature.
Whisky on the rocks? Speaking of abominations.
@Leopold Bloom 🤔..agree, personally I prefer to not put ice in any drinks, diluted the taste/flavor 😎But.... Some people prefer in this way to prevent dehydration from alcohol but same result is when you drink water separate.
Valid point! 😁
