I am by no means a cold-water diver. In fact, if I even have to wear a wetsuit, my feathers get a bit ruffled. I fully understand that that disposition severely limits my range of diving options, but me and cold, well, we aren't too friendly. After all, why do you think I moved to South Florida?

However, I've recently been thinking about Antarctic diving a lot. After learning about Below Freezing: The Antarctica Dive Guide, Antarctica has been on my mind lately. Seriously. It seems like such a faraway and mysterious world. Well...because it is. Consequently, when I watched this video of diving in Antarctica, I was amazed: amazed that divers have to lug with them 150 pounds of gear; amazed that divers can shiver through 30 degree water; amazed at the scenery -- both topside and underwater; amazed at the mysterious creatures in those frigid waters. Did you know some Antarctic fish have the chemical equivalent of antifreeze in their blood? And remember those vampiric sea spiders? They're huge!

Check out this video and prepare to see some diving footage you've never seen before. However, I thought that when diving among icebergs, people were cautioned not to approach an iceberg closer than the vertical height above the water. Since icebergs can calf at any time, I think iceberg divers should not be crawling the bergs, as the divers in the video are.
