humdiver - again, thanks! this is why I need a woman's actual experience, than some bloke quoting a manual at me! I hadnt heard that about breastfeeding, so I will bear it in mind when the time comes!

OG - thanks! I called them and they said to stop as soon as you show positive on a test. So hoping that I show positive sometime in the next year or so, I will stop.

Ron, you've never been pregnant, so please dont quote manuals at me. Also most women, as I have mentioned before, know that it can sometimes take years to become pregnant.

Kimber - sorry to pull your chain! I was only joking! Of course, if a big strong man offers or wants to carry my heavy tanks for me, then why the hell shouldnt he?! At the same time, I am more than capable of struggling (sorry - couldnt resist) I am more than capable of carrying my tank by...

scubadad - thanks. Og - thanks - do you have a link where I can find the DAN database - google gives way too many links!

SJ - that's what I thought - and thanks for the funny mental image!

no and no. that's an assumption too far. because most people don't get pregnant on the first shot, and it takes a few weeks to know you are pregnant. by analysing what happened when people did do it.

seems to be an absolute no-no, but does anyone have any hard evidence, research etc?

ps as for gear being heavy - isnt that what husbands are for?! ;)

Here in SEA, most diving is 50/50, mainly because it is mostly couples that dive together, or share the child-care/free-time equally - eg Saturday is his dive day, Sunday is her dive day. Also child-care is a lot easier to organise, so there is always someone around to look after the children...

I house-shared with a woman that had severe PMS - the other housemates & I started to track it so that we could avoid her when she was in psycho week - and literally it would be for a whole week. Unbearable. Most of us moved out when the tenancy was up. But..... she is the only woman I have...

oh - just gotta say: I've also vomitted into my regulator from seasickness during the safety stop - not pleasant but perfectly do-able, and just remember to use your octopus afterwards to breathe through on the way up, otherwise the smell of your own vomit just makes you want to barf again.

BJD - thanks. At least I'm not coughing up chunky yellow anymore! (nice......) Learning and experiencing in SEA I think is going to spoil me though.... "Sipadan? ho hum...."

:psst: I always lose a few bar when I laugh underwater! My hubby and I when we were first learning how to maximise our air consumption were always checking. At one stage he was 20 bar higher than me, so I gave him the age old \/ signal which caused him to burst out laughing. By the time he...

agreed neither - I'm in South East Asia - the post was done on Saturday afternoon, at home with bronchitus & a nice ENT infection (it's the humidity here) and therefore unable to dive (sob) - although I heard the sea conditions were so lumpy they aborted the club dive, so I dont feel too bad...

ppppffffffffffffff there's two sides to every story and both daphne & aggie have made valid and invalid points. There's a world of difference between petting tame/domesticated animals & petting wild animals, and this is where the confusion came in, originally. I think we all agree...

s****** hallo everyone! what a lovely welcome! edit: I didnt realise that s_n_i_g_g_e_r would be censored out - sorry!

Hi folks, we've just got a C60+housing (so please dont tell us we shouldnt have! :11: ) and Sea&Sea strobe. Does anyone have this or a similar set-up and or can give any advice about general settings to use u/w? cheers, lostinspace

just thought I'd pop in and say hi! interesting site here - far too many of you guys & gals use psi rather than bar though! ;)
