Nice clean piks Senter-thank you. Ice diving is unique and not for the claustrophobic. I never had much interest in it but it has its advantages-great visibility as a rule is one of them, as you know. I have a search planned in Mass. for the spring-as soon as the ice is out I'm in because the water-which is often soup-like regarding viz during warm weather, won't be like that when I jump in.

Last winter dive I did was scalloping off Mass. in February a while back-20 knot wind, 33 degree water at 85 feet. So cold the spray from the wind/water formed ice on my gear on deck even though it was salt water.

A great sport all-in-all.
