I met a guy who used dynamite to get into Lake Simcoe once, after getting
frustrated with hand tools in two or three feet of ice.  In fact, he was
the instroketor on my ice diving course 'way back when.  Even as a
relatively new diver, I could tell something was wrong when he showed up
onsite with neoprene Mickey Mouse ears sewn to his hood.

Meanwhile, one of my regular buddies has located a hand ice saw, so maybe
we'll try it out this winter.
