Just recently finished my OW and I have to say that it's super important to like, understand and be comfortable with your instructor. Since most of us learning SCUBA aren't little kids and have fears like a normal adults it's important to feel comfortable with ones instuctor, if not get a new...

Pocket knives are not allowed as carry on regardless of size. If you have carried it on a flight within the USA you have gotten lucky not to have it taken from you.

Knives are allowed in checked luggage only. I love to cook and since most of the time a rental condo/house has dull knives, we have a really cool knife set that consists of one handle with enterchangeable blades. What items would you guys suggest for first aid, repairs, etc? I've already...

As a flight attendant, no one hates carry on luggage more then me. I've often thought that the worse thing that happen in the industry is when the put wheels on luggage......followed by the airlines charging for checked bags.

Thanks to all who posted and especially those that take similar meds. The internet is a wonderful place to research, but sometimes it can make one over think and stress things. Had a nice long chat with my Cardiologist's nurse about my worries and how my meds have been. Happily I can report that...

We are traveling to a fancy resort for a friend's big birthday bash in the Keys. The trip is a week long. That causes another problem because this place has a dress code which means no bathing suit or casual cloths for breakfast, lunch and dinner. I will need to pack some nice cloths. No...

Whoohoo!! I got my OW and have done a couple dives in Lake Jocassee. Now getting ready for my first trip. My hubby was so excited about getting me into SCUBA (after wanting me to do it for the last 16 years) that he bought me the entire set up as an anniversary gift. So here I am looking at...

Thanks!! I'm more then willing to listen to anyone that has good advice. I've seen a lot about DAN and I'm thinking about calling Monday. I'm also going to call my Dr. once again.

One of the reasons I think my Cardiologist is a genius is because when I first met him he knew exactly what Sprengel's and Klippel Feil was. It's not very common and I'd never met anyone that knew it before. Along with the echocardiogram he ordered he also ordered a MRI/MRA of my kidneys. The...

My resting heart rate without meds is 80-95. One of the first things I noticed with the Carvedilol was the slower heart rate. Now my normal rested heart rate is 55-70. It has made it tough when it comes to working out since getting to the target cardio heart rate is impossible. I've...

Hi all!! I'm new to diving and this forum. Just two weeks ago I finished my Open water with no problems. Yesterday I went out for a couple dives and after the first tank dive I felt tired and a little dizzy. It past and I finished up the day with a second dive. When I got home I checked my BP...
