Diving under the ice is a fantastic experience that we would like to share with as many as possible. The safety will be just as good as in any other competition. Visibility during the winter is approximately 20 meters. Imagine being at 20 meter depth and seeing the surface above you as a tiny rectangle and as you look down into the dark you see the light from the canister torch 25 meters below you!
Don't worry, It's not that cold! Spending 5 minutes in 2 degrees will certainly make your face cold but the core temperature will not drop.
Diving in a 3 x 3 meter hole in the ice, everyone has ringside view of the action. The ice forms a huge platform, and being a freshwater lake, there is no current. Other huge advantages is that there is no waves, no jellyfish, no thermocline. It only gets warmer the closer you get to the bottom.
March 7th-8th the temperature in the air should not be too bad and the ice should be a nice and solid 25 cm. There will be a maximum of 20 athletes, so HURRY UP AND REGISTER!
