That suit of yours will keep you warm this time of year. We have 7mm suits and go diving under this ice. We plan on going to Heritage in febuary, want to try diving the drop off.
Did you get your stuff from the Dive Centre in Saskatoon?

Unfortunately the wife put the kiabosh on any under the ice dives. She figures that me carrying a firearm around for the last 4 months (hunting season) is as "dangerous" as my life needs to be (her words, not mine!). I can't necessarily disagree with her since I do all of my spearfishing via apnea. I would need balls of steel to do that...
I definitely plan on diving Heritage next summer too. I've heard that there is supposed to be a submerged pontoon plane somewhere in it. Nice little lake that is well protected from the wind elements. My father-in-law actually bought a smaller boat just for "getting around" on Heritage and other smaller lakes in the area.
Where on the lake is this drop-off? I just checked the online published depth map for Heritage and couldn't really find a "drop-off"...
Yeah, I bought my suit from the Diving Centre in Saskatoon. Their prices are quite high compared to other places, but they were able to price match the best deal I could find on the web, which was great. Definitely gotta shop around on the web though first, otherwise you can easily pay way too much for a lot of their stuff (spearguns, wetsuits, etc.)
