Once again, the Lac des Roches Resort on the little lake is playing host to out-of-area dive teams conducting training exercises under the lake ice. For several years, both Canadian Coast Guard and American Navy divers have taken advantage of the ice and hospitality they find so close to the 49th parallel. The temporary tent on the ice currently and during the week of January 26 houses the specialized equipment used by the divers and shelters the large hole cut in the ice for water access. The exercises usually last one week and the divers have always welcomed visits and questions from the public who venture out on the ice for a closer look. The Bridge Lake School children have practically adopted their annual visit to the dive site as part of their normal winter curriculum.
