Hello,
Ice diving is a type of penetration diving where the dive takes place under ice. Because diving under ice places the diver in an overhead environment typically with only a single entry/exit point, it is considered an advanced type of diving requiring special training.

Thanks

Hello,
Ice diving is a team diving activity because the divers line requires a line tender. This person is responsible for playing out and taking in line so that the diver does not get tangled.


Thanks

Hello,
Diving under the ice takes place in cold climates, there is typically a large amount of equipment required. Besides each person's clothing and exposure-protection requirements, including spare mitts and socks, there is basic scuba gear, back-up scuba gear, tools to cut a hole in the ice, snow removal tools, safety gear, some type of shelter, lines, and refreshments required.

Thanks

The White Sea is the only sea in Europe which covered by ice during winter time. It is one of the best place in the world where you could enjoy real marine ice diving. We offers an exciting ice-diving program every year from February till April. All dives are made in accordance with PADI standards under the guidance of qualified PADI instructors who have a large experience of organising ice diving.

Ice diving is an advanced type of diving, because it is like diving in a environment with only one entry or exit point. Ice Diving is similar to wreck or cavern diving, where the dive takes place under ice. Before you are allowed to dive into the ocean you must first earn your certification. This is a must for anyone wishing to dive in any water.

Ice diving presents special challenges in addition to the cold. First of all it is an overhead environment. But unlike a cave or wreck, diving under the ice tends to give one a new appreciation for overheads...

Ice diving is a type of penetration diving where the dive takes place under ice.[1][2] Because diving under ice places the diver in an overhead environment typically with only a single entry/exit point, it is considered an advanced type of diving requiring special training (although whether it constitutes technical diving is part of a wider debate within the diving community). Ice diving should not be attempted by anyone not trained (or in training) by a qualified instructor.

I haven't started tech diving yet. That is next sometime this year. The lines are necessary for ice diving. It is an overhead surroundings and kinda dangerous so each pair of divers has a "line tender" up top who you communicate with using rope tug signals.
