Hey Nick, sorry I missed your post! Work has been insane and i haven't been on the internet much the past few months. I had a similar problem with air trapping in the wing while in St. Thomas in November. To answer your questions, I have not adjusted the bungees in any way from the factory...
My wife and I will be on this cruise. The plan is to dive St. Thomas and St. Maarten as the ship is only in Nassau for a short time, and we've dove Nassau a few times. Anybody going to be on this trip? Also, any tips on diving in these 2 ports would be appreciated as we've never dove here...
Hopefully I'm just having a dumb moment and somebody can help me out, but here goes.....
I just returned from my first trip with my Hollis Ride BC and I love the configuration and compact size, but I do have one issue that is very aggravating. From the horizontal position where I spend most of...
Johnsvtk, Are you still going on the May 6th cruise? My fiance (wife by then) and I are leaving Tampa May 6th and I'm still throwing around the idea of diving with Carnival contracts or going on my own. I know there has been a lot of news about Sand Dollar in Cozumel but I dove with them 4 years...
I agree with showing the harsh reality of what happens when people make stupid decisions. From my line of work, I think anyone who decides to smoke cigarettes should come to my ICU and watch me withdraw care on a 52 yr. old patient with a 120 pack year history of smoking whose lungs no longer...
Just wondering if anyone has gotten official word from Carnival or another official source about cancelling their contract with Oasis Divers? Not that cruise critic isn't reputable, but I just logged onto my Carnival account and SCUBA is still listed on the Grand Turk shore excursions list and a...
I recently purchased the Hollis Ride BC and am very pleased with it so far. However, I have only dove it using a DUI weight and trim setup for weighting. I am going to be in the Caribbean in about a month and am wondering what my options are for weighting the Ride BC besides a weight vest or...
I would agree that a high risk patient with NSTEMI would certainly warrant more aggressive treatment and follow-up than a lower risk patient (such as the OP, who was reportedly swimming 40-50 laps before her accident). I think we all agree that any time the heart suffers an insult, be it STEMI...
@BubbleTrubble: When I made my statement I was thinking in the context of patients with elevated troponins but basically an otherwise benign presentation. Many different insults can lead to troponin leakage and therefore a clinical diagnosis of MI. Without having personally examined the OP and...
To the OP: Any diver can thumb a dive at any time for any reason. Its as simple as that.
Many people that have MI, especially NSTEMI, will not have any noticable heart damage. Their EF will remain normal and for all intents and purposes the heart returns to the baseline it was at before the...
Pardon me if I come across as uncaring or synical or jaded from my past experiences, and I feel horribly for the family that has been left behind with so many unanswered questions,but........ antennas and other multi-million dollar investments that MIGHT save a few divers???? This is the problem...
Although I normally tend to just read along and enjoy the banter on here, I feel like throwing my 2 psi in today..... I think that anyone who has an unbiased view of this situation and can intelligently discern between fact and assumption can easily come to the conclusion that Ben McDaniel is...
By definition, "requiring life-sustaining equipment" means that without the equipment life cannot be sustained. Therefore taking them off said equipment to put them into a chamber would result in a non-life-sustaining state, death.
I think that rescue certification is a great idea for every diver. Sadly, for those people who don't work in medicine or other fields that deal with life and death on a regular basis, it takes tragic events and near misses for some people to realize the great value in being prepared for the...
