    Women's Size 10 Henderson Hyperstretch 7/5 mm wetsuit - Worn twice - like new

    This wetsuit was worn twice and lovingly cared for. I'm a curvy woman who was so tired of struggling to fit into a wetsuit and dive comfortably I splurged on this wetsuit and I didn't regret it. It is comfortable, and forgiving. It says size 10 but when I tried it on the other day it still...

    NELD Roll Call

    Howdy y'all, it's me Shellbird, haven't been on the board for awhile, moved to Kentucky after my husband got back from the desert. Haven't been diving after I had a bad bout of vertigo. Working up to getting back on the horse. Figured I'd see who of the original bunch was still on the...

    Good news!! Absolutely no damage to my ears, they are "perfect". He thought that the vertigo was most likely caused by my allergies. That my sinus passages are inflamed and that includes my eustacian tubes although environmental influences are also part of it. He said that I probably...

    Frank, It was not my intent to imply that the quarry is responsible however two people on this thread mentioned similiar symptoms happening to them at the quarry (ctmax, ScubaSaurus). There is tons of information linking water temperature and pressure change to vertigo. The most useful I found...

    Sorry to hijack the thread but this seems to be an issue with this quarry's thermoclines. I found it interesting that in Alternobaric vertigo, it is the clearing on the ASCENT that is suspected to be the culprit where as usually the focus is on descent. I've got an appointment w/ENT on...

    Thanks for this post, it was intimated to me that my technique had something to do with it... I felt like I was in a washing maching on my ascent from 35 ft. but trusted my depth gauge to help me ascend. Disoriented doesn't mean you lose congnitive abilities, thank God... just can't...

    In researching some of the responses on this board, temperature was mentioned but this has happened when I didn't wear a hood. I do remember thinking how nice a toasty the water was in my hood after a gush of cold water seeped into one side. I still have a swimmy feeling though even now and...

    Me, GFisher and Moe did a dive. The vis is much better than I had anticipated. We were navigating diagonally to the peninsula across from the entry point and were at about 35 ft. and hit a wall so we had to ascend over it. On the ascent, a very nice, controlled, textbook ascent, I started to...

    virtigo - ear plugged

    I did a dive on Wednesday, felt water in my ear, no big whoop. Kinda lingered... of course I was concerned about an ear infection. Did a dive today and it was great, had some equilization to do but nothing out of the ordinary. Getting out of the water I was so dizzy, nauseated...

    Hey, I'll be there tomorrow to do a dive, I usually only do 1 tank then I'll kayak. If anyone finds something and they surface, I can mark the surface spot with my gps... just a suggestion.
