This is actually morer of a question for Eric and some of the other Canadians.
I am going to try ice freediving for the first time this weekend.
I have taught ice diving for a number of years and we have a series of saftey lines, divers and procedures for it. I feel very comfortable under the ice on scuba because we have so many safety protocals. I am a little bit more hesitant aboujt doing it while freediving.
How do you set up your lines, safety divers, harnesses, ect. ect. for ice freediving?
Do you just follow one line up and down like a constant ballast dive? Or, do you wear a harness+line and swim around where ever you want?
I have been thinking about doing it both ways. The harness idea might be better for taking pictures because I could concentrate on the camera more and dying less.
I would appreciate any suggestions you might have on this topic.
Thanks!
Jon
