    Best 5mm wetsuit for women.

    I agree but sometimes one has no choice. In the end I did buy the Mares She-Dives 2 piece. Mares Dual 5mm 2 Piece Ladies Scuba Diving Wetsuit Brilliant! I used it all season with no issues. It's a bit buoyant initially which takes getting used to otherwise great! Highly recommend.

    What things in diving give you the willies?

    Boats zipping around overhead. I live in Turkey and they have no concept of health & safety on land, let alone when it comes to the water. :rolleyes:

    New fins...need thoughts

    I have the Avanti Quattro but find they are too heavy. I end up with sores on the tops of my feet everytime I use them. (Yes I wear boots :) ) I bought them online as I have no dive shops near me and am now looking for a lighter, shorter travel fin instead. Expensive mistake. :/

    FAQ - Women's Health Issues in regards to Diving

    My doctor here in Turkey (where they're not big on explanations) has prescribed me Cerazette (progesterone only) pill to help control heavy bleeding etc... I've been putting off taking it due to DVT concerns but after reading your information I think I'll give it a go as I'm loosing too many...

    Kinky carotid artery.

    The guy who did the original echo on my carotid arteries two years ago said that most people of 'a certain age' will have some amount of calcium buildup in their arteries the trick is to keep a check to make sure it doesn't build up to unsafe levels and cause a blockage. My concern was with the...

    Kinky carotid artery.

    As it turns out I did translate the document incorrectly. I've attached the translation of the results. However he did write on the original document in English 1- - 20 metres no problem, 30 -40 metres forbidden :dontknow:

    Kinky carotid artery.

    I'll have to translate the exact diagnosis before I can tell you regarding if it's 'tortuous' or not. I'm not fluent in Turkish so they basically just told me what it said however he has written in English 1- - 20 metres no problem, 30 -40 metres forbidden. My cardiologist said a similar thing...

    Kinky carotid artery.

    Hi all, My carotid artery has an Ω shaped kink in it which I've just had checked for variations, plaque etc.. Nothing has changed in the last two years and all is good except the neurosurgeon (who is not a dive specialist) has now recommended no diving below 30metres. (Which I've already...

    Hi there, I use an Aeris Atmos 2 which is about 7 yo. Recently the battery is showing low after only 6 or so dives. I replaced it again and had not even used it and turned it on today and initially it showed low charge but then after a couple of minutes of sitting reverted to full charge. Any...

    Intova fibre optic cable.

I've just received the diffuser for my Intova IC 14 underwater housing but according to the instructions it should have a fiber optic cable like this one: Intova PX35 Optical Cable | Simply Scuba UK I have no idea what this...
