thanks! DAN had no one to recommend :(. I'll ask my doctor, but I'm sure someone out there in this community has a doc they like.

Anyone know of a doc experienced with divers? I have a sinus/ear thing I would like to have looked at. Northern Virginia preferred but I can certainly travel to DC or Md. Thanks!

Hi - we are planning a spring break trip, DH, me, and two teenage sons. We are thinking about St Croix for a week. It seems that some of the best diving is on the North shore, over by Cane Bay. So, I have a few questions: Do we really need to stay near there? How hard is it to get around...

an update - we saw Dr Kirkwood, and were very impressed. His physical was thorough, he took th time to talk to us and answer any questions that we had. He went over our medical situation - both of us mild asthmatics because of allergies, and advised us on meds to take and not take, when to...

Hi, We are a diving family with a Jr Open water diver (14 yrs old). The wrecks in Zone 1 look like just the ticket for us when we will be in Rehoboth this summer. We have no experience wreck diving so would like to take a course in it. How many dive shops are there in the area, and which...

yup, old thread but useful - what helped me was to dive in warm water with great vis, not our crappy pool, where I cannot descend, or our quarry, cold with no vis. Get to the Caribbean, or your warm fabulous destination of choice, and try diving there. Get a referral, so you/she/he can...

Replying to an older post - hope you see this, tuj, and it helps. I've been having a few ear problems too - fine at depth, but popping and ringing continually when on the surface. However, I read somewhere that rather than pointing the tip of the flonase or nasonex bottle straight up, towards...

we'll be there - cant wait!!! Ooops, never mind - in my impatience to go, I goofed on the dates - we'll be there 3/27 - 4/3.

we will be at the Divi the week before your trip, and one of the reasons I chose them was that they had a good onsite dive op. not perfect, other dive ops offer some things they don't, but the whole package of decent place to stay and decent dive op looks ok for us. What you need to think...

try this - I did it just gathering info and got a bunch of responses. Info Bonaire - One-Stop Shopping for Bonaire Hotels, Resorts, Condos, and Apartments you put in your dates, what you need and your request gets sent to a lot of hotels, apartments, villas, you name it.

thank you both - we are both very mild asthmatics, so I figured it would be better to see a doc familiar with diving. My allergy doctor cleared us last year, but she was uncomfortable with it since she said she knows nothing about diving. But, she does know asthma, and said we are both...

Hi - I did a search, and came up with nothing - soo: does anyone know of a Doc, familiar with diving, that would do a physical for my son and me? In the NoVa/Md area - NoVa preferred. We are off end march, and I would feel better having a dive savvy Doc check us out. I have an app't with Dr...

Thnks, trpon - and, yes we are going to Bonaire. just got reservations. It's not that hard to get to, at least for us since we are pretty close to a major airport, and I think we cal all agree that the diving is pretty good. We will do a few boat dives, I think I will get my AOW cert, and it...

Thanks again, all, for your suggestions! For some reason, Roatan just doesn't thrill me. I know we will go someday but for now I think we will pass - maybe because we were just in Belize, and I guess it's part of the same reef system, even though I'm sure they are different in many ways. And...

Dan you are totally correct - I will not push him - this is supposed to be fun, after all. and safe so he/we need to stay within comfort levels. I think he got frightened just looking at the wall going down, down, down and it is disconcerting, thinking you will fall. And this is a child who...

and, to complicate things further, I was just talking to one of the kids, who told me he was frightened by the wall dives we did at Thatch Caye (which we otherwise loved) so wall dives are out. I guess that means no Little Cayman?

thank you very much! I knew I could count on you all. OK, Saba postponed for a few years - check. I looked at Dive Abaco's website, and they look great, except for the weather - as of today a high of 75 sounds positively wonderful, but I would like more. Our spring break is late March/eary...

It IS a great family activity, providing the kids are mature enough to be safe. Mine are, most days, but they can get silly. Which is why I want to stay shallow for now. The Bahamas is VERY high on my short list - it is definitely cheap and easy to get to, a priority. But, aren't there huge...

We are a diving family, two Jr OW certified (14 yrs old), and us, the parents. All pretty new to diving. We are looking for a great diving location for spring break. We had considered Cozumel for Christmas break, but that fell through, as much because so many of the dives there are deeper. I...

thanks, all, for your suggestions! I'm thinking it will be pretty busy in Coz the week after Christmas (the last time I was there was in August a couple years ago). Will this affect diving at all - will there be crowds at the dive sites?
