Michael Salvarezza, Christopher Weaver,	Frozen Fins: The Art and Science of Ice Diving	Media- Photography, Nature- Other, Science	When the weather turns cold and the local waters turn to ice, many divers pack up their dive gear and wait for the return of summer.

In this program, you will learn the techniques, equipment requirements and reasons for safely venturing below the ice in one of diving’s most challenging, and rewarding, activities: Ice Diving.
