I loved my Rescue course which was run by Diving Unlimited near London. It was probably the first time I came away from diving not feeling like a complete newbie. The final check-out scenarios that our instructors and DMs put on were challenging, fun and realistic.

I had 21 dives when I stopped 12 years ago. I started again last year at 40 years old and now have over 60 dives under my weight belt. I'm doing my DM course and like many others, I wont quit my day job but will be a hobbyist-pro.

I could not agree more and I think that, Laura, you are doing the right thing by being alert to possible anxiety on your first OW dives for a while. I came back to diving after a long break and had a silly incident that raised my anxiety levels. Since then, I seem to always have a little moment...

Thanks Chris. Holding it absolutely level and then turning *very* slowly did the trick. The compass now works fine :)

Thanks, but that's not it. The compass simply doesn't move at all. It doesn't matter how slowly I move it..... It is stuck on North.

Hi I have just picked up my new Suunto Vyper Air Black and cant wait to get into the water with it. Running through the manual, I have been testing it out and - frustratingly - cannot seem to get the compass working. It just sits on North. I have tried calibrating, and again, the little...

The treatment ended yesterday and before I went into the chamber I did ask the doc if there could be other causes for the symptoms. He said yes, that particularly for the fever, there could be something else going on. I think that, in reality, I will never know if I was bent. The doc seemed...

Yes. We did a final celebration dive to 20m/65ft for 20 minutes. It's worth bearing in mind that we had exerted ourselves a great deal over the weekend and we were very cold.

The doctor noticed some mild barotrauma in both ears (redness and swelling).

Sure, all the dives were on 40% nitrox (go figure!) Fresh water. Surface temp avg 18c/65f Bottom temp avg 12c/53f Day 1 (Saturday) Dive 1: 8m/26ft for 10 minutes (unconscious diver to surface) 20 min SI Dive 2: 8m/26ft for 36 minutes (search pattterns) 20 min SI Dive 3: 8m/26ft for 20 minutes...

Unbelievable! After a weekend doing my PADI Rescue Diver course, I got home on Sunday and start feeling pretty tired. Well... I had been pretty busy! The next day, I'm up and off to the office, still feeling absolutely exhausted, and now I've got a throbbing headache and my shoulders are...

I think that sums it up for me. Up until this point, my diving has always been about me - regardless of the dive, I've always focused on my gear, my bouyancy, my breathing, my finning and so on. The switch for me was that this weekend I found that I was paying attention to other divers. For...

For my fleece I use a tiny bit of powder, no conditioners/softners and wash them cold, gentle and do not dry them in a machine.

I'm relieved to say that it's over. I have had a great weekend and the instructors laid on some good fun scenarios: 1. A OOA diver trapped under the tail of a submarine (yes, there is a sub in our quarry). His fully inflated BC had only one loose clip holding it on. You can guess what happened...

I'll be at Stoney Cove - so there'll only be about 200 other divers watching me.

Thanks to everyone who replied! The pool sessions and knowledge reviews are all done and I'm now getting myself ready to head up to the quarry for the open water part of the course. So far, it has been hard work but - as everyone says - thouroughly enjoyable. To be honest though, I am quite...

I like it! Ok... Noob question: how do you equalize with an ffm?

So, if I buy and use a Carbon 42/52 in Europe with mixes up to 40%, I will be ok? No "gas police" banging at my door at 3 in the morning?

Jim, Tempting as it is.... I think I could buy a new se of Hogs every year for the next 3 years for that kind of money :-D Still 'twould be fun to learn from you. -Rich
