Hey Everyone, I am just dying to get back in the water!! Unfortunately, about two years ago, I fell off the roof of my house and injured my back. Now after many months in a brace and physical therapy I am more mobile and capable. Not 100% but enough that I could go diving if I had some help...

My episodes vary considerably. Sometimes I vomit once and that's it. At the other extreme I had one that went on for a week. Sometimes i get some forewarning. Other times just a few seconds. I am taking a variety of medications that help a little bit. Unfortunately they don't eliminate the...

Thanks Everyone for the replies and for the link. The linked article also mentions the reflex causing you to take a deep breath immediately after vomiting. That could be problematic if you don't have your regulator in your mouth.

Hello Everyone, I have, in the past, been an avid diver. I never passed up the opportunity to get wet. I have enjoyed diving all over the US, Mexico and Belize. Unfortunately, three years ago I developed a health issue that I have not been able to resolve. After three years of doctors, test...

Any news on this case?

Sounds like sage advice. Thanks for the input. I am leaning towards the compressed neoprene suit. I have pretty well decided that I am going to come back to Seattle for the drysuit class both for the instruction and the oportunity to try out the Oceaner suit. I am happy to hear good about...

Hello All, I have been contemplating purchasing a drysuit for some time as I find myself loosing my enthusiasm for diving the PNW in my wetsuit. I stopped by a shop in Seattle to look at what they had to offer. I was a bit suprised to find that all of thier drysuits were neoprene and primarily...

I was down in Playa a few years ago and the forecast showed a chance of thunder showers daily. We saw a couple of pretty good rains but it had almost no effect on our diving. As I recall it rained on us 3 of the days we were there but they were short lived showers and it cleared up quickly. One...

Thank you all for the recommendations. I have passed them on and encouraged my friend to join the Scubaboard community.

Thanks Firewalker, I appreciate the recommendation. Do you know if they have a location in South OC? Steve

Hello All, An aquaintance of mine mentioned going to Sports Ghetto for dive instruction. I suggested that there may be better options and offered to try an find a quality instructor. Can you all make some recommendations? Thanks. Steve

Tragic event and a great loss to her family and friends. I suspect the above poster may be correct regarding the timing of the filing: "There are strict time limits on when a wrongful death case may be filed or pursued in Washington State. This time limit is called the Statute of...

Hey Sandy!! Thanks for the tips. I hope we get a chance to connect this trip. I had a great time in Jupiter in '09!

Great Info!!! Thank you for your replies!! Florida SB'ers Rock! I have dove Jupiter (Feb '09) and Boynton (Feb '10) and loved the diving. Many thanks to JupiterMermaid & Joycestershell for being my host/guide on those trips. This trip I want to start with easier dives as I have not been in...

Greetings! I was looking at vacation options and a bit frustrated at how expensive air fares have become... I did find one affordable flight destination: Fort Lauderdale. I wonder if you all could offer some recommendations to help us plan a trip? My wife is a new diver & I haven't been...

It's called Yield Management. How high can they raise the fare on a particular flight before people choose to fly on a competitors airline (if available) or not fly at all. If I have a plane scheduled for a particular flight and I can successfully fill the seats at $800 why would I sell...

Hey Jamie! Iam about two hours East of you. I am determined to find the local dive spots. I have dove the Columbia at Tri-Cities and I know of a group here on SB that dives frequently in the Spokane/CDA area. Shoot me a PM and we'll go diving! Steve

A few years ago I was attending a social function at a local marina & chatting with a group of power boaters. One of them commented that he had seen a bouy earlier that day with the same flag that I had on my hat. He asked me what the flag meant. I was a bit supprised and asked the other 8-10...

I have made two trips to the area and found the dive community to be the most hospitable group I have ever encountered. Fantastic people!! I dove Jupiter with JDC the first trip and Boynton with UE the second. Both top notch operations. Have fun!!!

Thanks for the replies. Roatan is definitely on my diving bucket list. I checked CCV and they are booked. FI has availability but room & air = $4000. Not quite in my budget for this trip. I will have a look at the West End options. I am set on ocean diving. I would love to go back to PDC...
