Well. first thanks a lot for valuable information...seems our regular doc(which are the first to consult/rules here..) really is a bit out of line concerning just quiting the betablocker... As for the Epipen, it's related to the acute trombosis,5/6. The local hospital believed she had a...

Hi! My wife had went through surgery after a trombosis in early june, and we're heading for Malta the 24/9. She s now off her Marevan/warfarin) meds, but still on Selo-Zok 50mg & Adalat Oros, 30mg pr. day. Don't trust our regular doctor on this,cause he said she could just quit the...

Back in the -60's, I used to snorkel & freedive, and read all I could about diving. Unfortunately, I had ear problems, and the doctor banned diving. Almost 40 years later me and my wife was bored on a holiday trip, and both did OWD just to see if this was something for us, and, if my ears could...

Well, I have a river just by the house, but haven't been diving there yet :-), but usually, diving local means traveling for an hour or two to get to the Norwegian coast. This year, I've only been in the "local "water once, a few days ago, because my wife/buddy got trombosis in june, and have...

Hmm. I'll talk to the tech when I pick up the second kit... as Buddhasummer says, water may have entered through the LP hose/2nd. Mostly , I have rented tanks abroad, and from mostly well known companies, so I don't think that's the issue!

Hi! I just had one of our 2 regs on the second service/overhaul(do this once a year) by a qualified tech, but this time there was water in the 1st. stage. Thought this was impossible... I'm waiting eagerly for the service result for the other reg(wife's), as they have been used in aprx. the same...

Well, I'm in for 2 sets for D4 if /and when they're available....Already changed mine one time(black), and is still waiting for a white replacement for my wife...been waiting for 6 weeks now...

Well, after taking OWD, I came home from my holiday, and got real tooth pain after a few days. The dentist found out that I had 3 old root fillings that needed special treatment(new fill, but no guarantee of the outcome ). The pressure just triggered this, I would have needed repair anyhow...

Good choice, can absolutely recommend both Blue Melody and Anders Samaka! Dived with them in March. Nice boat, good food, and beutiful marine life & nice wrecks.And, I guess it will be a bit warmer than in March......

Congrats with diving Whites Fusion! Shopped around in Europe to find ours(both me & my wife needed drysuits for cold water diving). Currently we're both using 4E Arctic + MK0 during winter/spring/autumn( down to 4C water), and only the Arctic during summer(a bit warm though). I also dived mine...

I'm out of popcorn....... Guess it's better to agree that people don't agree about air-sharing.. I just know, that if my wife and I had'nt practiced this "skill", we may have found ourselves in real danger in a real OOA situation. That's when the task load occurs. You are a beginner/new diver...

I think being used to sharing air is an important skill. My buddy/wife does it every now and then if one of us suddenly have a bit less air than the other.. It depends on the circumstances. We always keep the gas reserve within limits, though. I'm just glad we had DM's/Instructors who taught us...

Awesome video!

I start equalizing as soon as I'm under the surface, and keep on equalizing several times before I'm down to 10 meters(pressure doubles the first 10). If I wait, it will be painful equalizing too late... My wife has to eq. even more, and some times she ascends a few meters if she have trouble. I...

I use a pocket weight belt, + trimpockets on the upper camband. Helps on trim with any suit I use, shorty,5mm full or drysuit. Much easier to put weights in pockets when you rent tanks& weights abroad, and handy when you need to lend the DM xtra weights for his students:)... Experienced that a...

I have the Fusion Tech, and used it on my last liveaboard since i felt too cold diving wet when climbing aboard the boat(windy). Did 2-3 dives a day, and the suit was on a hanger on the dive deck. A bit damp between the dives(aprx. 2 hours between dives), but completely dry overnight. 21 C in...

After reading some of the thread, I think I will book with Red Sea Relax....:D

Just came back from Egypt doing Northern Wrecks & reefs with BlueO2. Absolutely recommended! My wife dived her 5mm Semi, but I mostly used my Whites drysuit. Too cold after the dive in my wetsuit... It was colder than normal on this trip, watertemp 21-22 C, and windy, so the guides had to...

I asked around last year on scubaboard for advise for a travelrig, and most said I should go for an 18lbs wing.....well for me that was too small, so I have two lying around.. I really appreciate my Oxycheq 40lbs, and use it all over the world. Nice with some xtra lift in heavy seas when diving...

First, thanks for all inputs. As on all forums, there are lots of different opinions... But, maybe (because english is not my first language), some have misinterpreted some of my desciptions of this incident. My buddy had only one dive on day two, 32%, and got the same failure/or maybe thye...
