Great report Chris. It is somethign I have always wanted to do (well, for 6 years, anyway!), for the time being, it will have to stay on the to do list though.

Lovely pics too.

Oh... and the hood... should I just call you Hannibal?

The camera isn't that big - it's just that I am very slim

(Wolfgang was using a wide angle lens and that's what does it)

I think the kelp does most of it's growing in the summer. The ice is only around from February to mid- April.

Thanks for the comments - actually you should see the 200 cone-jelly shots I didn't post In the end, the only way to do it was to get Mark to shine my HID from under the jelly. This took quite a bit of practice as we were tied together by 3 metres of rope. We increased the rope length between us to 5 m and this helped a lot. It does reduce safety, but a compromise was good enough to allow me a bit more freedom with the camera.

Cheers, Chris

Great report and fantastic photos although I seem to have missed the obligatory upside-down diver

An ice dive is still on my list and it will be done, even if only the once Nearly dived in snow last week

So, which of your good friends get to see the video....................... please
