Last dive of 2016 – 1st Dive of 2017 and 1st Ice Dive of the Year

Jan 1: After midnight January 1, 2017. This was the last dive of 2016, the first dive and first Ice dive of 2017. We had good ice, 5 ft. visibility, air temp a balmy 32° F, water temp 34 °F, four divers & one snorkeler in the water supported by three tenders.   A BIG Thanks to Mary Beth Thar for all the surface photos of tonight’s activities.

Entering Jan 1 2017 from under the ice
The fun part is exiting the ice without a platform. This is where your “Tender” really comes in handy.
Just chilling and relaxing after the dive.
