Hi I am a new Diver who would like to earn some experience in the water. Dive Anytime

I may wait and skip this dive on Sunday. I don't think the cold moved into my lungs, but I know you're right, waiting is a better idea.

Maybe a night dive on Wed. You should come, I'll show you the octo on Whyte Islet

Seriously, do you know of any local doctors who know alot about diving? I wouldn't mind finding one to chat with (and for reference).

Dr. House at the Copeman Healthcare Centre practices dive medicine. It is my understanding that he is one of the very few in town that still does. Even though Copeman is a private clinic, Dr. House will still see you, without you having to pay extra fees, if you mention that the appointment is for a dive medical. That's how I got in. From my experience, he is a good guy to talk to.

so this doc won't charge if you need to have a dive medical form filled out like the ones if you are taking a dive course?

That's why I went and I wasn't charged. Obviously my BC medical plan will receive a bill for the appointment, but no extra charges for me.

Cheers,
Bill.

Okay, I was just told that BC medical may not cover dive medicals. Extended medical might. So if you are expecting a 'free' check up, you might want to confirm with your doctor first.
