Upside down ice fishing in Finland

6 01 2012

Finnish ice-diving videographer Juuso Mettala made this incredible video of three divers, all upside down, using a lake’s icy roof as their floor!

The video was filmed under Lake Saarijärvi, one of Finland’s many ice-covered lakes, where ice diving is a popular sport.

Dry suit divers usually wear ankle weights to keep the air from getting caught in their boots and causing a diver to turn head-over-heels, but these divers have mastered the technique as an art form.

Watch the video here and post a comment below! Thanks to Laura Bellis who sent me the video from one of her buddies at Brisbane BSAC – hope you’re enjoying sunny Oz, Laura!
