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.

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.
