Hi All Its been a while since posting so apologises for any "rustiness" ! My boyfriend and I have just booked the most amazing holiday next year and I'm hoping to get him into diving. We went to Mexico at the beginning of this year and thought a nice easy intro. into the world of...

It has been a very very long time since I have been on ScubaBoard so thought it best to re-introduce myself, as not only has my life changed drastically, but so have I! My name is Abby. I'm now no longer the "ScubaBaby" that I was when I joined ScubaBoard and am now a mere 25 years of age...

Has anyone had any experience of Taba? I've been to Hughada and Sharm but never been as far north as Taba. I'm flying into Taba International Airport at the end of August and wanted to know what the airport is like? I'm staying in Taba rather than Taba Heights but I've been told its not...

As if you need proof that the human race is doomed because of stupidity, here are some actual label instructions on consumer goods. On a Myer hairdryer: Do not use while sleeping (darn, and that's the only time I have to work on my hair). On a bag of Chips: You could be a...

why the sun lightens our hair, but darkens our skin? why women can't put on mascara with their mouth closed? why you don't ever see the headline "Psychic Wins Lottery"? why "abbreviated" is such a long word? :scratch: why doctors call what they do "practice"? why you have...

Right. I know nothing about rebreathers at all except they dont make bubbles unless its semi-closed or something! I dont even plan to use a rebreather (esp. Buddy Ins. considering the amount of deaths) but that doesnt mean I dont want to know about them. Could someone just explain the...

Theres another thread started about pulling up artifacts from wrecks and it got be thinking about peoples points of view. The thread is : Artifact Question I personally think they are best left on the bottom for others to enjoy, but then you come to the points where people were lost on...

OK....I cant take it anymore!!! I need to dive more....this is getting way to depressing. When Belushi and I were walking round Dive 2001 all i could see for miles were drysuits. Belushi was interested in a DUI but they didnt stock his size so he didnt get one. But, I guess I am going to...

Ok, hope your sitting down! Belushi wants to go to Malta in January, but its wet even when your not in the water, its cold and I am not too keen on going on holiday to be cold when I can pay zip to be cold in the UK! We dont want to spend loads at the moment, but we do need to get away on...

Dear Doc...or anyone who may know! As I have mentioned a few times on the board I have had a serious problem with my kidneys that has left me with just under 50% normal kidney function. This in turn has affected my blood pressure...ie. its higher than most. I don't think its a problem...
