Brit diver calling for the first time. Hi everyone I'm a rookie at this so if I get the lingo wrong, laugh and put me right! I've been diving for 2 years and just notched up my 100th. Qualified my AOW on my 50th birthday, so there's life in the old dog yet.
Got the bends in Sharm el Sheik 18 months ago and was left for 4 days on my own, boo hoo!, pool-side, boo hoo!, with a beer or two, boo hoo! in the sunshine, boo hoo! and all I could do was some snorkelling, (Oops sorry, no swearing on this site).
Turns out I got a PFO and they tried to close it last week, but there were complications, so it hasn't been done and now I'm on anti-coagulants with a bigger op coming up later in the year. I was actually looking for info on diving on Warfarin when I found you lot, so I got waylaid in my search for future diving prospects.
Apart from Egypt, I've dived in the Philippines, going to Indonesia in August(on limited diving, if at all now) and as I live in Gosport near to Portsmouth in England, I get plenty of diving in the Solent and in general on the South coast, plenty of wrecks of course. apparently it was divers like us, that found the Mary Rose you know!
Now I may be wrong, but I think there's somewhere else around here that takes your details. In case I get lost, I'm a Primary teacher with 7 grandchildren (latest is 2 weeks old, aaah!) and 16 cats, hence the name. The grandchildren know me as 'Cat Nanny.'
Here's hoping I find my way back.......
