| | (And to repeat what I said elsewhere, ALL divers and tenders should practice the pull-in routine during training and periodically include drills with it subsequently, in normal ice diving activities.) | | | The signals used in ice diving, via number of tugs on the rope, are not yet completely standardized (and perhaps don't need to be -- as long as everyone knows what is being used on a particular dive). | | | However, for most recreational ice diving, where the diver is moving about most of the time and only occasionally stopped, those signals are not of much use. |
