Fortune Pond Ice Dive April 2nd 2016
Posted: Sun Jan 17, 2016 6:03 pm
While this is not a "Vintage" dive persay, Vintage gear is welcome for those who wish to dive it. I will probably dive my Kraken, but I may take my DivAir for a spin under the ice. Anyway, Fortune Pond is just outside of Crystal Falls in Upper Michigan. For more info on diving the Pond, check out this link. http://www.deepsixscuba.com/divesheet.p ... type=shore .

An ice dive is a get together. There is set up and tear down involved of course. But it's not complete without hot chili, bratwurst and a cold beverage of your choice. You do not have to dive to participate. There is line tending to be done and assisting divers in and out. If you wish to dive, you need to be ice certified. You will need your primary reg and a pony outfit. A drysuit is highly recommended, but a good wetsuit will work. If you plan to dive wet, let me know. I will have warm water to pump into your suit before and after your dive.
I know many on this forum would rather lick a hot stove then dive under the ice. But it can be a lot of fun. Those interested in coming up, please reply to this thread. I make the chili and we'll need a head count. If you have other questions you can post here, or shoot me an email at [email protected] . See you there!
