Getting back in the water and back here after a few years of fighting PTSD and depression from 20 years as a Paramedic. Rediscovering my love of diving and travel. Lots of catching up to do. I am from Nova Scotia Canada.

I mainly cold water dive, but I do or did until COVID happened dive/dove in many warm water spots. We in the summertime get tropical fish here especially post tropical storm/hurricane.Welcome to ScubaBoard. Do you do local cold water diving, or mainly travel to dive elsewhere?

I'm in New Glasgow but did 95% of my diving along the Atlantic coast. I grew up near Oak Island.Glad your back after so long. Where in NS? I'm basically in Halifax (Eastern Passage/Dartmouth).
aww that's awesome! I'm glad you were able to find your love for it again. what I find sometimes is with my mental health, diving (no pun intended lol) into the hobbies I love acts as an escape for a bit. hopefully you continue to feel even better and enjoy diving and traveling more!!Getting back in the water and back here after a few years of fighting PTSD and depression from 20 years as a Paramedic.

Yeah. It’s hard when it’s like nothing makes you feel better or gives you relief. When it’s your own thoughts you can’t really escape them. Sucks ass. It’s awesome you’re enjoying life again.Foe me it was the complete opposite. I shutdown, stopped enjoying life.
