    Ear Problems from an Unexperienced Diver with a history of Ear infections as a child

    They have made an incredible difference for me. I still use the RX drops after a day of diving to make sure I do not get an infection. However on my last trip to Bonaire I forgot the drops and did fine until the last day when I lost my ear plugs and did not have a backup. I did 22 dives that...

    Ear Problems from an Unexperienced Diver with a history of Ear infections as a child

    I too had numerous ear infections when I was a child. Like you equalization has been an issue as have ear infections following dive trips. I have found that the DOCS pro ear plugs have virtually alleviated the problems with equalizing. On top of that I have a RX for ear drops that I use at...

    Adjusting my trim

    I would second the use of ankle weights. My husband has the same problem with his feet. It is not just when he dives. If you watch him swim his feet sink then to so it is not a matter of booties or fins. I tried for well over 20 divers to get him leveled out. He was an air hog and I...

    Flagler Beach FL

    My in-laws have proposed spending Christmas 2007 in Flagler Beach FL. I am trying to find out what diving is in the area. I am not one to sit on a beach or play in the waves, I would be board stiff within a day and that is what they will do for at least half the time. My husband would like to...

    Advise for NikonP2 & Daughter

    Fantasea Case is not the only choice. Ikelite has a P1/P2 case and it has access to all the controls. http://ikelite.com/web_pages/cpp1.html Also the P2 and the P3 are different. The mode dial on the top is in a different location, thus a P3 case will not work unless you do not want to be...

    Roatan Water Temps

    The amount needed depends on if they like you. I ended up woth 10-12 bites, the strange thing is most were on my back and I had a shirt on when I was getting them ( on the way to dinner) My husaband got maybe two. I saw others with them all over their legs and arms.

    Lets talk ear plugs for diving.

    Many of us know how to equalize, but still have problems. Equalize before you need to, great in theory but for those of us with problems it is not the answer. I can go up and down just a foot or two 3-4 or more times and still have problems. I equalize go up/down a foot or two and then...

    Lets talk ear plugs for diving.

    I agree with ArticDiver try them for yourself. Do not knock them till you try them. When you consider what you pay for a dive trip what is $12 more dollars, especially if you are prone to equilizing problems?

    Lets talk ear plugs for diving.

    I used the doc pro plugs for the first time last week in Roatan. They were wonderful. :D Normally by the end of the second/ beginning of the third day I begin have serious equalizing problems, I look like a yo-yo. Sudafed has not solved the problem. With the ear plugs I did 21 dives and...

    Nikon P2 w/ Fantasea Housing

    I went with Ikelite primarily for this reason, I wanted full control. Another reason was they are rated to deeper depths. I do not intend on taking it any wear near 200 feet but wanted the safety cushion. I know Fantasea has a flood warranty but that does you no good when you are on vacation...

    Nikon P2 w/ Fantasea Housing

    I have the P1 with the ikelite housing. For macro shots and shots at the top of the reef this system worked fine, using the diffuser. However there were a number of times I wished I had a strobe, the obvious was for the night dives, beyond that there where times that there was just too much...
