Divers wear a weight belt to make them neutrally buoyant. They are not. The suit makes them float up. Their feet are up and heads down. The camera is just turned 180 degrees. The wheel barrel is held to the bottom of the ice by the air in the barrel.

Quoted:

Thus, the air is actually 1.2 times heavier than the surrounding water, causing bubbles to sink in these circumstances. The wheel barrel is of a special tactical variety that, through the use of magnets, is able to exhibit anti-gravity characteristics when submerged. GD + Science = Fail.

They are not tethered from the surface. Bad idea. If a seal on the drysuit fails/or your reg freezes( usually happens after the drysuit leaks due to severe overbreathing) you have minutes to get out of the water.
Still a neat video. |

Pretty damn cool even if fake. Those divers had some serious thermals on. Under those dry-suits but I'm surprised the didn't have full face regs as I'm sure their faces were numb from the cold. The coldest water I've been in was around 68, even with a dry-suit and thermals I was ready to get out after 30 mins, can't imagine those temps they were diving in.

Quoted: I got a headache just watching. Its gotta be disorienting being upside down under water like that. Actually its not disorienting at all. You can't really make big body movements fast enough to get any real vertigo going. If you have a wetsuit, of any kind, on you don't really feel too much gravity pull. The buoyancy of the suit balances most of it out. I like to look for nudibranchs when I dive and spend a lot of time upside down sometimes. You actually think the people who are right side up look odd after a while. |

They are getting cold, but not as fast as you think. Dry suits are amazing. Standing upside down on the ice is no biggie, and it is no discomfort to the diver at all as you don't weigh much under water.

That was the first thing that popped in my head. When I got my ice diving certification one of the other student's neck seal on his dry suit failed causing his dry suit to flood. It took a lot of pulling from the line tender and a little assistance from the other diver and instructor to get him out of the water. |

Technical nonsense follows: Usually when you dive a dry suit you use the suit to control buoyancy and you BC is backup. It is vital that you remain aware of your orientation at all times or you feet fill with air and you will flip upside down. This is bad because the valve you release excess air with is high on your chest. If you are an idiot and get in this position while ascending the air in the suit will continue to expand and you will continue to increase your ascent rate. The most likely outcome is the bends and possibly death. Though if you are careful with your weight and your awareness this won't be a problem. These guys probably pulled themselves in buoyant and just inverted which in theory should be safe at this minimal depth. However there are going to be folks who disagree with me on the safety. I would try it, looks like fun. |

You use your BC for buoyancy control, and the dry suit for warmth. The amount of air or argon in the suit is just to control suit squeeze at different depths, so you can move. A part of dry suit training, is pulling yourself out of an inverted runaway ascent. Its a quick and easy drill. Plus there are suits with exhaust valves in each ankle. Doing ice dives are fun, I miss it. As for the cold, the water is only 32, thats if your diving fresh water. Your face gets numb quick and your good to go. What does hurt like a MOFO, picture an ice cream head ace from hell. Cold water, no mask, and your eyes open, the cold goes right through your eyes to the brain... |

Better and faster then slashing away with a knife at your ankles is this. pull yourself verticle, then pull open your neck seal with a finger. Quick fast and easy.

I pull the inflation hose off of my drysuit power inflator and finished the dive. |

How deep is the water there, anyway? When the camera pointed "up" (Down), all I saw was blue...that's pretty deep.
Based on my own considerable swimming (but not diving) experience, I can say that I'd be perfectly comfortable inverted as long as my ears don't flood. And when they DO flood, that's a slightly painful moment, but once they are flooded, I can just leave them like that and then swimming inverted is tolerable. I used to do that so much as a kid that I had problems with ear infections. So I stopped swimming upside down and the infections stopped. CJ |

Busted, I am a padi diver and have used my drysuit very little. however the guys I have dived with are very experienced and they use their suit also. A quick search on the net will produce many opinions on both methods. The inflator vent switch up was a brainfart on my part. My DUI is at the shoulder. Having said that...I have much to learn and hope to do nsscds courses in the near future and may very well change over with experience. |
