    Moving to MD next month

    @ hannahevan is that 7mm all year or just winter? For classes in the VA area, where do most dives take place? I want to knock out a couple of specialties while I am here.

    Ear Problem / Pain

    Thanks for all the great advice. The first attempt at certification ended with her having sever ear pain and not finishing. About a year later she tried again in warmer water, there was still some pain, but the early often normally (not always) helped. She has no issues with driving up...

    First Dive With My Wife

    That is great. I tried to get my wife to get cert'd but she only made it through two of the final dives. She couldn't EQ her ears in 20 ft of water and paniced. She made it all the way to the bottom without inflating her BC. There was no damage, just lots of pain and she now refuses to finish.

    PADI diver identification question

    Name + birth date, but if you change your name you better make certain they update it well. Lost my new card and had to go through the joy of sending court docs again.
