A hardy soul is required, but ice diving in Madison can be rewarding

Noted: Interest in ice diving is on the rise, said Gomez, who has been certified for about 10 years. He will lead another class this weekend on Lake Mendota near Picnic Point if conditions allow. UW-MadisonĂ¢??s Hoofer Scuba Club also offers ice-diving classes, and ice dives are planned by area dive groups such as MadisonĂ¢??s Four Lakes Scuba Club and the Madison Scuba dive center.
