Forgive me if I am being naive, as I have never done any ice diving, but
wouldn't it make sense to cut two such holes a dozen or so feet apart?  In
this way, there is another way to exit if the one hole should indeed get
plugged somehow.

It personally gives me the willies of thinking that I am in an environment
that I can only exit in one way, and that way is through a hole that I've
cut in the ice.  What if something should happen to that hole?

Anyhow, this is a great list, thanks all, I'm learning a lot.
