of course water and cognition are related, I forgot to mention that in my first post, thanks for reminding interestingly it seems to be something 'similar' e.g. with alcohol with only very little amount of alcohol discretely fast problems with balance (and no really symptoms of drunkenness)...

I like my Hollis F2 and some others really loved them when they tried :D

apprehensive about what exactly, do you have an idea? Looks like you did well in the pool and your instructor seems to be confident that you can handle it in open water. If you can't relax tell your instructor, don't follow peer pressure, and take your time. .. and enjoy this amazing part of...

thanks for your comment looks like I have to check for electrolytes, hormones etc.; I think it is not only my perception as collegues at work addressed me because of that and I collapsed several times, in addition my body seem to 'want' salty things etc., it is strange.. I have in mind perhaps...

thanks for your comment! no, at the moment I still have some residual symptoms as the problem began after the hit I am not sure if that is perhaps 'normal' afterwards for a while? if not I should get some lab work of course

Hello, I had a dive accident with DCS II. Since that I have problems of maintaining a good 'water balance', it is a bit strange I hope I can explain it.. Most of the time I really drink enough I would say and I felt good with that, 2-3l, during sporting activities and the summer season even...

Thanks to all for your comments! Glad to see that it was the right thing to post it :) In a nutshell (I love this English expression) Dive planned to a max. depth of 42m with max. 2 min. at depth to have a look at a metal object in the lake with no required decompression stops and a minimum...

no need to say sorry :) this was one point of what I tried to say, so it is the topic I have to mention I don't know if amnesia was/is caused by the incident/stress and/or by DCI (diagnosed with DCS II), but it is important it can happen to everyone! despite experience and knowledge! and it...

sorry I am not sure where to post my text nor do I know an appropriate title.. we had a severe accident, a part of it I like to share as it could be important also for others: after all we surfaced, I managed to inflate both BCDs etc. and calm down my buddy a bit, but both of us were really...

very interesting, I noticed the same, respectively were told ;) - I am HFA and love diving I heard from several autistic people that they are diving too, perhaps it is also pressure related as I can feel my body / the outlines of my body better under water

yes, there are several boats and ships, planes, and a submarine (HMS Stubborn, 57m), some are described here: Top wrecks of Malta & Gozo - Divernet many of them are divable, some even for beginners, some have been sunk as dive sites so they are in an upright position and "tidy", some are...

I have been to Malta two times and dove with them: Mad Shark Diving Malta It was really very nice, I will go there once again this year ;-) I would recommend a trip to Valetta, the town walls are impressing. A trip to Gozo or Comino is also nice, MadShark shuttles there with a boat about two...

as herbdb wrote autism is a spectrum condition and it depends on every person who can learn to dive, as it does in non-autistic individuals interestingly, some autistic individuals understand a lot without be able to communicate in a way others understand easily. So it is feasible, that...

after having a new place to sleep in Seattle, I can continue planning dives Fifth Dimension looks good, but I think perhaps I also bring my wetsuit (and leave it there if somebody is interested in using it further) I think dives are possible from Tuesday to Thursday evening, but I do not know...

sry for not answering faster, I have been on LaPalma - diving :D I did not dive doubles until now mm, ok, I have to rethink about regs as I stay only one week, should be enough space in my backpack for at least computer, mask and fins :)

sorry, I mixed words up, of course I meant rent a wetsuit :blush: :alien: my fins are splitfins, due to an old injury by now I prefer splitfins, perhaps I try to rent such but thanks a lot for your thoughts! :) It just occurred to me that I have also to think about valves (as my regs have...

I have a waterproof suit and it fits snugly the cut is sex matched and waterproof also offers in-between sizes

for me it is, I have a 21cuft with EAN28 in comparison to a single tank with two valves an advantage for me is, although I can close my valves by myself perhaps I will have a problem with it one day and then the tank would empty completly - but I still have my pony for a safe ascent

more than the half of my dives are cold water dives, mostly in Germany; last week it was 5° my fins are size S at the moment I am thinking of buying a dry suit, but in my opinion borrow a semidry or wet suit will be better since I do not know if I buy a dry suit soon and will have enough...

thanks, so nice :o) 20th would also be possible I think after work is great! :D borrow a wing would be good, but I am also fine with another BCD most of the time we are at the WSCC, looks like it is downtown
