    LCHF or Ketogenic Diet

    "as a diver" includes more people than you, and most Americans have metabolic derangement and even many tech divers are, as evidenced by their big middles

    LCHF or Ketogenic Diet

    If you stay on keto too long the gut biota changes and the bacteria starts to eat the lining I dont have time to find the studies but basically you need to feed the "good flora" diverse fibers of pre-biotics I am a fan of lowish carb eating and keto for those that need to reverse metabolic...

    LCHF or Ketogenic Diet

    The main way it benefits you (as a diver) is that you do not have the "crashes" when you need to eat. Your fat burning pathway seamlessly kicks in and it is a more even way to supply fuel to the brain. Something newer than keto dieting is intermittent fasting (IF) where commonly people eat...

    Toxicity Inquiry

    I never saw anything like that although in Hawaii, maybe once (smelly mass floated in) Maybe ask the marine biologists at UVI? I would think they would be on it because they are always sampling although the storm probably has them disorganized

    Toxicity Inquiry

    Have you ever had to doff and don your rig while diving?

    We did it off our Glacier Bay because my husband doesn’t allow ladders (Oahu) He says if you can’t kip up and get back on the boat he doesn’t want the liability It’s tricky in rough seas but the trick is always deal with weights first or last. Hawaiian spearing do it on every dive with a special...
