Ahhh, creyfish... Morten, we must really get together some day soon with your cousin Kristian who is also a very good friend of mine (small country, eh? ;-). I would like to meet you and try some of that good looking cooking of yours
Had my first underice-diving experience yesterday... WOW, really beautiful! Black air bobbles underneath and how it seems like you can see kilometers into the ice when looking through the edge of the hole! Being down there is like being in a world where the direction of gravity is inverted.
Skanderborg sø has around 30 cm of ice at the moment, a rare thing in Denmark, so we couldn´t let that opportunity pass.
Went out together with a bunch of scuba divers and N.O.W Dive from Skanderborg where Ben Bos, the owner of N.O.W (in the water on first pic) stirred the arrangement and safety with a very competent and firm hand.
We set up a 50 meter "runway" with 3 holes spaced by 25 meters (took 3 chainsaw chains to make them). Between the holes there was a tight guiding rope to which we hooked our lanyards. This proved super important since the holes were almost invisible, like a vague reflexion in a piece of glass, when diving very close to the ice, and because of the visibility of only 3 meters.
Under the ice was also 2 safety scuba divers per 25 meters, so safety was really super. I had a small problem during my first dive with mask-leaking and my legs getting entangled in the crap lanyard I used, and immediately one of the safety divers were there offering his octopus to me (which I politely declined with an OK sign and a smile and "horizontally free immersioned" my way to the hole).
Kurt L (with the towel on first pic) did a nice 50 meter DYN dive, and of course Stig S (blue jacket to the left on first pic) finished off the day with a viking style dive only wearing speedos and mask, braaaa :blackeye But as always he was a big smile, when he got out of the water despite the instant ice cover on him.
A super day for both Kurt L, Stig S, Henrik B, the scuba divers and I with a lot of happy and tired smiles, when we said goodbye after the barbecue back in at N.O.W Dive.
