Hi,
I just came back from Cuba 2 weeks ago. I had a great vacation but something happened...I got stong by the diving bug!! It was my first time diving and I must say it was awesome, I felt like I was in another dimention!
You see it is different in Cuba you dont need to be certified to dive, all you need is a quick intro course of 20 minutes and your ready to dive. My first dive was at about 20 feet,I was a bit stressed,it lasted about 45 min. Then the diver guide asked who wanted to go for a second dive? I say: "MEEEEE!!!!"
The second dive was at about 50 feet and lasted 50min. It was awesome,I was super relaxed and enjoyed it alot! I got a bit of a headache and later in the day I had blood in my secretion from the sinuses probably...I always had sinus problems and allergies. But It did not hurt or bother me at all and the headache lasted only 30min or so.
I will be taking diving classes to get a PADI certificat so that I can dive again and also I will check with a nose throat and ears doctor to see if everything is all right. ( I sure hope he does not tell me that I can not dive or I'll go nuts!!)
I have a question for the experts here:
I want to start buying my diving gear a bit at a time (so I will have it all by next summer) What kind of regulator should buy, US DIVER, MARES,AQUALUNG or what? I will be diving in Canada if it makes any difference?
Thanks!
