hi
my girlfriend and I just finished the first two days of our NAUI course. this was mostly done in a 2m pool, a bit in a 5m pool, and then just one quick open water 5-6m dive.
according to all the resources, this kind of depth is never a risk. but in the evening of the second day (last night), she felt very dizzy and nauseaus. she had obviously been very tired all day, but soldiered on regardless. also during the night she had some rashes on her arms. kinda like heat bumps. maybe again just because of exhaustion/too much swimming/suntan lotion. this morning she seems fine, though still pretty tired. she didnt have an join pain or anything.
i called the instructor, and he said not to worry, probably just exhaustion. i agree with him...
but i was a bit concerned though, because on the first day we were only wearing armless and legless wetsuits, and in the afternoon she became quite cold in the pool. and after each session she would take long hot showers.
and when i googled her symptoms this morning, various websites said this can affect the off-gassing, etc. and while 6m is normally risk-free, some sites seemed to suggest it can vary for person to person (and the whole two days were very tiring for her)
as i said, she says she feels ok now. should we worry at all?
we have two more days at the weekend finishing our open water dives
thanks. sorry if this is a lame question, but we are new to all this so just wanted to check
p.s. we live in japan
