Hello again, thanks for the information, I thought I was descending rather slowly but now that you mention the time line I was going to fast and you are probably right about being tensed up ( I can't stand the cold!). I will try that on my next dive. As far as the reverse ear thing I don't...

Hello to my good friends at Scuba Board. It has been a while since I've been here and I have to say that the site looks great! Well Dr. Deco may remember me as he was able to solve my problem as to whether or not I was bent during my trip to St. Maarten. Needless to say my story had a happy...

Hello Dr. Deco and those who have taken the time to respond to the numerous questions with respect to the bends. It has been a year since Dr. Deco and the professionals here gave me guidance in what was a most devastating situation. It has been 1 year since I found Scubaboard and looked to Dr...

Hello King Neptune Soooo here goes. I don't know how many of you have followed my story but I owe sincere thanks to Dr. Deco who was able to find a Doctor in Toronto for me who actually knew what they were talking about. :bounce: Good news is that the Doctor in Toronto came to conclusion...

Just a note to thank all of the professionals especially Dr. Deco for his help in finding an answer to by run in with DCI. Dr. Deco went out of his way to help me. And let me tell you today is a happy day for me. I can go get my fins and join my friends again in the underwater world...

Thanks I'll have it checked out. I have another question though. I am on the quest to dive again after my experience of being bent. The performed an operation on my ears where they put a pin hole in the inner ear? and drain fluid. Will this also affect my ability to dive again as far...

Hi again Bill, so now that I have figured out that it is a nerve injury, thanks to you of course is it something that will treat itself or should I go to the Doctor. My arm wasn't in a vice or anything I was just pushing something. Will it return to normal or is there cause for concern. My...

Hello there to everyone who has replied to my question. I have been visiting with Doctors in TO and they can't come up with a logical explanation. I have an appointment with a Neurologist to see if there is an underlying condition that they will be able to detect. I have been advised by...

Hi King Neptune..... ooooooops, well then that sort of answers my question. I guess no alcohol period! Well that makes me feel better. At least there is some light shed on it and my hopes to dive again aren't shattered. Thank you once again and yes you are right I am a slender build...

Thanks King Neptune and Mike for getting back to me. Yes alcohol could have been a factor I was drinking all week prior to the dive being on a holiday in Saint Maartin and all. I wasn't wearing a dry suit just a bathing suit (water was 82 degrees) I was eating well at the all inclusive hotel...
