Hope this posts correctly....

I am an avid diver (well that remains to be seen) with around 500 dives. Cert level: Dive Master ...PADI. Have a group of friends that I usually dive with out of Houston, Texas. We typically go to Cozumel 3-4 times a year and then try to go an unique place such as: Yap, Red Sea, Galapagos, etc.

A group of us just bought a condo in Cozumel. For those that go there a lot you probably are familar with El Cantil condos. For those that are not, brand new 7 story condo tower just south of town about a 3-5 minute walk and is right next door to Plaza Las Glorias (or whatever they name it in the future). It is 4 bedroom/4 bathroom on the 6th floor. Plan to rent it but will also be sending a lot of time there brushing up on my Spanish.......

My comment on "well that remains to be seen" deals with the fact I apparently had a DCS Type 2 hit in the Galapagos about 2 weeks ago. I spent 13 hours in the Santa Cruz chamber over 3 days and still have problems after returning to Houston. I have seen a neurologist, cardio-vascular specialist, and an internal medicine doctor and they are still trying to determine if it was DCS or something else. So my diving will be on hold pending futher evaluation.

Well anyway, I think this dive board is excellent and enjoy persuing the various topics. Hopefully, I will be able to contribute something in the future.
 
Welcome to the Board. I hope the news is good when they finally sort it all out and you are back in the water soon. Our gills have a tendency to dry out rather quickly.

Enjoy you time here,
Becky
 
Howdy Tex!

Welcome to SB! Hope to get to know better around the forum, but be sure to check Texas Swamp Divers club forum for more on your end of The Republic. DEMA show news is also there.

Rough news on the DCS hit, or whatever it actually was. Hope good news if forthcoming in time.

Profile & Dive Info are seperate options, and it would help in future discussions to do your Profile - see Quick Links above. PM me direct if I can help with something, :wink:

Hi merganser1, my name is Matt. I would like to welcome to the Board! :balloon
 
Hello merganser1 and glad you've joined in instead of lurking. Sorry to hear about your hit and hope you recover to dive again soon. BTW-the condo sounds nice. Good luck.
 
Welcome to ScubaBoard! :happywave

I hope you recover fully from your DCS and that you'll be back in the water soon. Only time will tell, but we have many examples on this board of people who have taken a hit and dive with no apparent problems.

Dive safe!

Christian
