I'm with you NetDoc.. well we have dived together and I'd say our Slow Easy dive speed was a good match I sure had fun and it suited me to a T!
Yep TMHeimer I have the same issue... sitting watching tv and boom cramps.. they just happen at odd times. I have reached the point where I just accept it happens, deal with it and move on. The issue of cramps is in my I've got more important things to worry about category. Kinda like my arthritis I take reasonable measures but don't fixate.
Dan Interesting information but that just sounds too much like work to me. I dive for the Zen I don't think about my heart rate, I don't think about breath control I am in the moment. All I want to hear are the rice krispy crackle of pistol shrimp, sounds of the creatures around me and the sound of bubbles. No equipment beeping no buddies trying to "talk" underwater, just the sounds of the ocean and bubbles.
All I want to think about are the things I am seeing, keeping track of my buddy, monitoring my guages and relaxing. If my buddy wants to talk, sound alert horns and zip around at speed I am happy to be a good budding for that dive and find a one that suits my style for the next. To me cramping has been part of my life, an inconvenience but going to soft split fins which I did initially due to the arthritis in my knees, moving up in to the water column once in a while for a stretch has worked pretty well.
