Test Diver Jim Bach (SwimJim) Takes the Argonaut under the ice at Fortune Pond Michigan. He has really run the gauntlet with this regulator as it's the same one he dove in Cozumel last November.
How often do you need a snow blower on a dive trip

- Bravo SwimJim and the Fabulous Deep Six Dive Club! Your dedication and expertise are to be commended. That's a long drive and a lot of preparation work but seeing the pictures, I wish I was there. Fortune Pond is calling me...
- Proud to see the Argonaut Kraken being PROVEN in real life diving.

True, it's a lot of work, but it's well worth it. I didn't even mention the Chili and Bratwurst after the dives. There was a lot of other fine food as well, not to mention ice cold beer. We did it up right!

Wow... we don't have visibility like that in any of the ice dives I have done over here.
I really like the light shining through the ice with the arrow patterns. We have talked about snow blowing a pattern like that, but with our visibility there is not much of a point.
Thanks for the pictures.

Thank you for putting the Argonaut through its paces in this extreme environment.
