    i tried to fly out today and i ended up being bent

    Yeah, DC 6 is mostly gone. I think there are 2 still operating for a regional. 1900s are still very popular, but they are pressurized. Twin Otters are not pressurized, and still going strong

    i tried to fly out today and i ended up being bent

    You are overlooking that only legacy airlines are pressurized. Many regional aircraft are not. the OP never answered my question if the cabin was pressurized. But he stated that at 10,000ft alt he started to have problems. Like Rick stated. FAA recognizes NOAA guidelines of 24 hours SI. At...

    panic attack followed by headache that doesn't want to go away

    Any possible deficiencies in your diet? Low potassium, magnesium, or vitamin D, might cause those symptoms under any exertion. A headache lasting more than 24 hours with good sleep is troubling. Might be time for your annual checkup. Blood work should show any deficiencies. From the way you are...

    i tried to fly out today and i ended up being bent

    What kind of a plane was it? Was it pressurized? All legacy airlines use pressurized cabins that slowly drop the pressure to about 8000ft alt. Some regional aircraft are not pressurized, and the pressure will drop quickly to whatever altitude it is at, drastically increasing chances for a DCS

    Days of our lives in Chicago

    The viz in Lake Michigan fluctuates. I have seen it as good as 60ft. The vid is made by a friend of mine. (I am in the vid) There are a few frames made with a GoPro camera. Most of the footage is made with an off the shelf cam. He made an amazing housing for his camera that he was testing out...

    Incident on the Spiegel

    Well written account. Thank you. Out of curiosity. As a single dive, this seems well undeserved. But It seems that the days leading to the incident were full of diving activities. In the previous dives, was there anything that could be a precursor that seeded the problem on a deep dive? And...

    Lost Dive logs

    Retail value of 2 new logbooks. If the logbooks contained private information, than costs of credit lock, and identity theft protection for the next few years.

    recommendations for new gun

    I like the Mako as well. Gun is great, so is the Costumer service. A package from Mako is like Christmas. I never know what extra goodies Dano will throw in. Last time he upgraded my gun for free.

    Two Newbies?

    The one thing I would like to see, is a single exersize of how to escape from the clutches of a panicked diver in OW. Other than that, there are many examples of how professional rescuers nearly became victims them selves while trying to rescue a dosile panicked pearson who became a wild cat...

    PADI getting sued over Insurance Program

    Can I assume that those shops will have a legitimate loss and damages due to actions by PADI, and this will open a new can of worms that might devastate PADI? For some reason I think PADI is being maneuvered and set up for a future case.

    PADI getting sued over Insurance Program

    Obviously, the above is hypothetical. But I was under the impression that A situation very similar started the whole thing. But than again, I really don't have any knowledge of the case.

    PADI getting sued over Insurance Program

    But could the drunk driver be sued if he causes an accident, the street is closed and as a result, and ambulance can not reach an unrelated case where the unrelated party dies because of delayed treatment. I guess, my question is if PADI would delay the process, (since they are not in insurance...

    spearfishing in florida

    If you have not hunted before, do not go deep to learn, or for big fish. In your case, I would keep it well within recreational limits. A smaller pipe gun would be easier to learn with as well. i would suggest a 90-110cm Mako predator as a starter gun. You were recently certified, don't bite off...
