No reliable safe ice in WA, got to go to Idaho...
At one time one of the Portland area instructors was doing a trip over there with instruction annually. Unfortunately I don't remember their name now.

there used to be a guy Ken Dean. if I recall correctly he works for DNR or Washington fishing wildlife he's an instructor and used to do ice diving classes up by White Pass. I know ken is still around but I don't know if he's an instructor still or not

Do you know how to get ahold of him? I am willing to travel if I need to. Just finding the instructor to travel to would be nice

Might try Randall Fisher, owner of Scuba Fish in Spokane, he might be able to help.

I believe the instructor at Orca Scuba center in Wenatchee is a PADI ice diving instructor. I wanted to take this class but no ice thick enough this winter that isn't a two hour drive. If we do have enough ice on Fish Lake it would still take a class of at least four or more to make it work.

Really? We have a few prime locations over here that are used frequently.
One of the local shops just did one this weekend. We have our annual Ice Rescue/dive next month. The fire department normally has to cut through about 2' of ice. That is in N Central WA, Lake Conconully.
