I can give you the rules that apply for the CMAS vis-a-vis ice-diving, but am unaware of rules for the "technical ice dive" . When we go ice diving, we all have fully seperate first and second stages. We have a fully equipped standby diver-team ready to dive. We are attached with a safety rope of max 50 metres long, and we all know the rope-signals that apply. There is some discussion where to attach this rope. Some attach it to their bottles, some to the BC-wing D-ring. Suffice it to say here that it should be within reach because you must be able to send and receive signals with it.Each dive-team consists of two divers which are preferably attached to each other by a buddy-line. Personally I feel that this is not necessary because the viz under the ice is usually excellent, and the extra rope can be a liablility .Every diver is fully briefed on the medical emergency numbers and procedures. All dives are non-deco and there are no night-dives under the ice. Maximum dive time is limited to 30 minutes and a 30 metre depth, because of the cold. Dive leaders should have at least 20 (preferably more) dives in the chosen location. rgrds Adri Haine hanalei@ma*.ul*.co* wrote Hello, I am posting this as a request for information. I am interested in ice diving and would like to know what the opinion is out there concerning gear set-up for said activity. Are redundant air sources consider standard equipment? If so how should they be rigged? Any thoughtfull information would be appreciated. Thank you. -- Send mail for the `techdiver' mailing list to `techdiver@aquanaut.com'.
