Ok.. Thanks Walter. Point Taken - I understand what or how things went wrong.

Smoking, please give advice as I have tried the gums etc and find it is very easy to relapse and the gums are really addictive too. Patches iritate my skin. Is it going to be just down to will power or will hypnosis or some thing else help. I actually hate smoking and thing about the long...

Neptune Why isn't anyone one allowed on here to have a difference in opinion on anything. My issue wasnt on spear fishermen, but on damaging the reefs etc by removal of shells and coral. I mention spearfishermen because I dont agree with it does not in any way mean I want it banned...

I disagree with spear fishing!! That is not the issue here is it. The issue is shell collecting and collection of corals etc which long term effect eco systems of reefs etc. My preferences into what I eat and dont eat do not come into this, I dont eat shell fish because of a religious...

I am no vegetarian, but I do not eat fish either!! I also cant stop people fishing etc. But I can help when it comes to destruction and conservation of marine life and reefs. Without attacking as you like to put it, I would just like to say it is nicer to dive in an environment with lots of...

Shell / Coral collecting. When we go into a fragile environment we should go down with what we have attached to us and surface again with exactly we took down. Okay if on a conservation dive it is different, or you see a deck plate off a boat balancing over a fan coral then remove it etc...

Has any one dived the minesweeper site of El Minah, comments please on the desolation around the wreck. I understand the oil tanks maybe full and leaking slightly but it really is a moon landscape around the wreck. It has been there for15-20 odd years I believe, why still no significant...

Dear all, I would firstly just like to say I am a diver with a fair amount of experience. I write things with a slight sense of humour to them not always meant to be taken word for word. This is where this dive forum falls a little short. It is really easy to interpret things wrongly...

Ralph I am not commenting on who is or not fit too dive. I was just taking an extract from the book from the chapter on why asthmatics shouldnt dive. I know the conclusion the man is my doctor.

Once cut a hole in the Ice and jumped in, coldest I have been. Wasnt wearing a suit, but still an experience ill never forget. I went bblue in seconds, Oh it was fun in the marines!!!!!

Its not sea sickness that gets me but the hangover!!! Normally a liquid content rather than chunks as I also never dive on a full stomache. I know smoking is bad, drinking causes dehyrdration etc what else is left to do......

Are we right to comment on this subject after all we are not exactly qualified to comment here. Well I may not be a Gynacologist ( Or a good speller ) but we are all commenting on something we know so little about. Narc

Mario Trouble is we all know the effects etc, I wish it was as easy not too as to start.!! Narc

We all have a few of these, lol Yet there are a few with huge saw tooth profile such as camera men etc. This must follow the same principles of reverse profile diving. If not worse. Although I do not practice reverse profile diving, I have yet to meet someone who has been bent by doing...

King_Nep dont be scared DIVING IS FUN PADI SAYS SO!!!!! NARC

Have to tread very carefully here!! As I dont want to offend. If I was a woman I think it would not matter who said what about safely diving with a period or not the fact of the matter they are currently still doing tests on women diving with their periods and have no real results to proove...

It is the best though having a ciggy when you come up. Why is that?? I really want to stop, I keep failing, But I will keep trying. Narc

My reg is well over due its service, ever since I threw up in it!! Still it is US Divers and the parts are bloody hard to get over here a service takes weeks and I CANT GO THAT LONG WITHOUT A DIVE, I ll even fill up the kids paddling pool if I cant get out to dive. Anyone reckomend a good...

As I said it is not just the instructors but the idiot who suddenly think they are the dogs bollocks under the water after just a few dives. For me I think the South Africans are the best. Especially my old instructor who had his own dive school in Durban, free swims with the Big Whites and...

That is the name of the book. Published by Undersea and Hyperbaric Medical Society Maryland USA. I copy out what it has to say in the case that asthmatics should not dive. OOh its long.There are two main risks for asthmatics. 1. is possibility of impaired exercise capacity due to a reduction...
