I am concerned about this Ice diving thing with out surface support and being done with only a reel. What happens if the line breaks ? I know you must have thought of this. This is not even comparable to cave diving. I've never seen a cave a mile wide. Try finding a 4'x4'x4' hole under that much Ice. It's like looking for the preverbal needle in the haystack. If that line breaks that's exactly what you'll be doing. Nanci seems to have somewhat a handle on what their doing although I question why they put the harness over the bc? And I'm not to crazy about all the lines that may be in the water at one time if an emergency takes place. It may not seem like much, but three lines floating around can create a huge mess. I much prefer the use of one main line for the dive team and one for the support diver. This reduces the amount of tenders needed and simplifies the whole operation. I'm also curious as to how much line people are willing to play out to the the diving team? -- Send mail for the `techdiver' mailing list to `techdiver@aquanaut.com'.
