    Ear Equalization Problems

    I have the same problems minus the headaches. Always came up with blood/mucous in my mask. What is weird is I never had any equalization problems going down, thought all was good. I went to see a Dr(ENT) a few weeks ago for an exam to check things out(before I start my DM) and all was good...

    Safety Sausage

    Heading down to Roatan in Feb with some fraternity brothers back in the day. We have all been in the same FF league for nearly 18 years now and we talk a lot of smack. We are all avid football fans and those guys root for the Steelers, Texans and the Niners........long time fans. I have been...

    Greetings from Webster, Texas

    Get some training, not sure who does it in South Houston. There are rules and regulations to follow such as non-gamefish, certain distances to certain areas, etc. Know what size limits and the like. A lot of those off-shore trips will teach you that as well, just call around different shops.

    Greetings from Webster, Texas

    It's worth it on most occasions, at least you are diving. Bring a speargun :)

    Only once out of Freeport for the Gardens, the rest of the dives were off of friends boats....mostly around the rigs.

    Really scared to dive

    If you are that nervous, get in a pool. Chlorine doesn't necessarily trigger psoriasis, it just further dries out the skin resulting in more dryness leading to more itching. Here are a few tips in order to do so: 1. apply a good layer of petroleum jelly(except the face) to your entire body...

    Maximum Scuba

    Planning on doing my DM with them out of Seabrook. I know them pretty well and have dove with them on several occasions. IMO, the best in the Clear Lake City area........

    ScubaBoard Invasion Central 2015 Cozumel

    The wife(non-diver) and I are interested as well. Is there a way(or some kind of counter) to see how fast it is filling up to the max? Too early to commit but want to act fast if the # of divers is approaching the limit.

    Blue Angel - Opinions

    I dove with them for the first time a few weeks ago. I got to BA about an hour early(flying solo that day), talked to the guys in the dive shop and went upstairs to eat. They never mentioned anything about the weights to me, I assumed they would be on the boat FF to me trying to descend...

    Bloody Mucus

    Ever since I started diving in 1988, the majority of time that I come up from dives there is blood and mucus in the bottom of my mask. Sometimes a lot, some not so much. It seems to be worse on dives >70ft where it effects me. On the shallower dives, it is a 50/50 chance I will have...

    Favorite restaurants in Cozumel???

    This was my first time to eat there(3 weeks ago) after 30 or so trips to Cozumel. I thought it was great, must have been outstanding before they changed. The Caeser salad and crepes Suzette will be enough to get me back :)

    First timer to Cozumel and First time Diver

    Sound advice here......... I would like to add: 1. No need to bring a wetsuit IMO unless yas just want to look pretty :cool2: 2. Can always do a beach dive first just to get acclimated so you don't look foolish on a first-time dive boat(Chankanaab is an excellent option) 3. Get certified...

    Cheap December Airfares

    Wow, that kills the $789 per person I had to pay. We even had to drive to Dallas from Houston to get that cheap of a flight :(

    physical test of divemaster padi, explained in details.

    I just think I am over-worrying for nothing here. I feel 100% confident in the water. Freediving may or may not be an important for a DM due to various safety reasons but I still want to master it. I do have to snorkel a lot because the wife won't dive. I absolutely expend too much energy...
