    Do mask lights bother you?

    If you turn it down, there is no light on what you are looking. If up, it will bother other divers. So I do not see the interest of the thing.

    mild discomfor

    I had some time stomach pain when I was a beginner, even more if I had swimmed with a snorkel before the dive. It was due to gulping air at the same time I was breathing it. With experience, it does not happen so often, but still from time to time with a snorkel.

    Uterine Ablation

    I got uterine + ovarian ablation last summer. External incision, so I have a scar of 17 cm now. Painful yes, but I never needed more than Paracetamol ( in perfusion at the beginning) to be able to bear it. In my case, except for the first 3 days, most pain was due ti the muscles and skin...

    An issue with mask clearing...

    To feel a small quantity of water in the nose is normal, if you do not feel it is actively coming up. While I have noe problem with it, and no difficulty clearing the mask, I find it slightly unpleasant in a (fresh water) swimming pool, while I am completely indifferent to it in the sea. My...

    How do you wash neoprene socks?

    For all my neoprene gear, it is in the washing machine without detergent. And I do not store it before it is perfectly dry (but I will eventually use it again while slightly wet).

    I will go to Playa del Carmen, 1 week in April, with 1 day in cenotes and 1 day at Cozumel. Is a 3mm full suit enough for this time of the year? Should I add my 1mm neoprene "T-shirt" for the cenotes? (I do not know the name in English, it covers only the body from neck to waist)
