So, here’s my tale of woe. I was originally certified in 1969. I don’t have my certification card and NAUI who I believe was the certifying agency has no record. So approximately 3 years ago I signed up for a basic OW class. Filled out the medical questionnaire and needed a sign off for mild asthma-no joy from my allergenist. Fast forward to a bonefish trip last November to the Bahamas where I was the only fishing guy at a dive resort. I decided to give it another go and my primary care doc signed off on the asthma. I signed up for the referral program and made arrangements to complete the OW dives in Hawaii in January. A week before the trip, while shoveling snow off my stairs, I slipped on the ice, fell backwards hit my head (9 staples and mild concussion) on the stairs and severely bruised my back and hip. Obviously did not make the OW dives. My choice is now to go to Puget Sound (March?) or wait for the ice to melt and finish up in a local lake. Both will entail a thick wetsuit or more pool time to get familiar with a dry suit. My future diving plans will all be in tropical locations. Any recommendations???
Thanks
