If extreme, unusual and challenging scuba diving scenarios appeal to you, try diving under the ice.

Ice diving is one of the most adventurous scuba specialties because you confront conditions and see beauty few others ever experience. Plus, you might get a chance to play with your exhaled bubbles on the bottom of the ice.

Flash your PADI Ice Diver certification card to get instant respect, and usually a lot of questions from other divers about what it’s like under the ice.

To qualify for the Ice Diver course, an individual must:

1. Be certified as a PADI Advanced Open Water Diver or have a qualifying certification from another training organization.

2. Be 18 years of age or older.
