IceDivin
Nicholas Roe has a go at ice diving in the French Pyrenees.
Right up to the moment when I plunge through the
ice into the freezing waters of a mountain lake high in
the French Pyreneesmy day has been quite normal. I
enjoyed breakfast at my hotel in the little ski resort of
Saint-Lary. Then came a fine walk in the snow. What
exactlymade me book an ice-dive?

Driving to nearby Piau-Engalyalong winding roads,I
strugglefor an answe! climbing eventuallyonto a snowmobile for the final five-minutebounce acrossthe ski
slopes to the meeting place. f{*J----l
Except for my
guide, Nicolas Chapelle,who asksme if I really want to
do this. Against my better judgement, I say,oYes'.
I pick up a big iron bar and help him make a hole in
the ice. I=T---]
Deep in my stomach a bitter cotd
e*pands?1G sfiht oi that irowing two-merre hole.
Chapelle asks me to take off all my clotheg except for
my underwear, and put on a big rubber suit. I feel a bit
concerned.In theory anyonecan do this - divers,nondivers,evennon-swimmers.Yet standingby that ice hole,
it seemssuddenlylesseasy.
I squeezeinto the rubber gear like meat into a thickskinned sausage,then put on the air tank, glancing
over at ski runs full of bright figures rushing past. It's
minus five out here, the water only sevendegreesmore.

A The lake surface slowly breaks up into chunks big
enough to fill a world-beating cold drink, the rim of
black water growing with each smash.

B I find myself now sitting on the ice,staring in disbelief
at my flippered feet hanging in the lake water.

c

This turns out to be my own breath collecting in
mobile puddles,trapped, as I am trapped.

D I pause occasionally on the way to watch the skiers
go past the lake.

Oh heavens.trffi;J----l Chapelle says: 'Relax, but stay
strong. You'll be fine.' Yes,but .. . oh, he's gone in.
Masked up and ready, his goggled-eyedface looking out
abovethe lake surface,he signalsme to folto*. lffif__-l
Water cold enough to kill if not for my suit. And it feels
... ah, this curious sensation.I am not cold, not warm.
I hover in the water,staring at the blue sunlight shining
through the ice.lighting up the water.
Above me. the unbelievableroof of ite, marked now
with a strange black fluid. Fffiil-_--l But I feel free;
amazed,too. I am contained by water, coveredby thick
ice in a clear spacewith fish swimming - I see them,
they re right here - while in the distance a mountain
stream runs into the farthest end of the lake. I feel as
if I'm in space;as if I'm swimming in a huge building.
Chapellewon'tlet goof myairtank. [ffi*J---lHowever,
it leavesme with a senseof annoyancebecauseI want to
twist and turn andenjoythis strangeenvironment.Perhaps
it's aswell, then,that he steersmegentlyhere,whereI follow
the fish for minutes; and herg where I stare back up at
our escapehole and wonderat the bluenessof the world.
Now we are heading back towards the light, breaking
the surfacewheresomeonepulls me out. I am standing
on ice, staring back into the water,barely able to believe
that this is whereI havebeen.And I can think about this
for years.Which is, I now realise,why I came.

E There I find a fenced lake, a metal hut and nothing
e1se.

F This is irritating but possibly safer.
G I'm afraid of looking afraid, so I plunge head-first,
almost bashing Chapellein the face,and together we
sink, the water taking us down, down.
