Diving under the ice, a wonderful experience.

Do you like extreme, unusual or challenging diving experiences? Then you must dive under the ice! The underwater world is fascinating. Ice diving is one of the most adventurous experiences you can have. Experience playing with your exhaled bubbles at the bottom of the ice.

Cool right! Ice diving is great, it expands your diving possibilities. But you have to be aware of the different environment and the safety precautions you need to take.
