Recreational Ice Diver

Do you have an interest in extreme, challenging and unique diving environments, then Recreational Ice Diving may be for you. The unique overhead environment of ice creates a beautiful, still and unspoiled experience.

Ice diving can be a serene and beautiful aspect of scuba diving. As a winter activity, ice diving offers the opportunity to enjoy sport diving year round. Diving under ice presents hazards not common to the open water diver, and special training is required. The purpose of this course is to acquaint the diver with the hazards associated with ice diving, as well as how to plan and execute an ice dive.

As long as you are 18 years or older and in good physical condition, you can enroll in a Diver’s World Deep Specialty course. You will also need to hold an Advanced Scuba Diver Certification and have logged a minimum of 50 dives in a variety of conditions.
