Sled goes through the Ice near Channel Marine

This past weekend Fathom Divers in nearby Gilford, NH stopped in at Channel Marine on the Weirs Channel - a sled had gone down through the ice.

The rider had been cruising along in front of the the Naswa Resort docks when he encountered thin ice & went down. He managed to get out safely & walk up the hill to call for ride - and a blanket! We'd say he was lucky...

Matt Canfield and Tom Range suited up with dive gear and air ballasts, found the sled and floated it over one of Channel Marines haul-outs. From there they muscled the water logged sled out of the late & blew most of the water out of the cylinders. Those guys have their system down pat!

Friends & family enjoyed the warm facilities, hot coffee and left us with a snowman on the main dock.

Fathom Divers, recently under new management by Tom & Jamee Range, is at 43 Gilford East Dr, Gilford NH 03249. Their phone number is (603) 528-2330. Nice people who will fish anything out of the lake for you!
