This is what I'm currently doing antibioticsx2 daily, steroid inhalerX1 daily, doing a sinus rinsex2 daily (my own therapy). Been on the inhaler over two weeks, no noticeable improvement. Antibiotics just 4 days. Yeah, ENT in the future, but only one ENT doc in my area, so he's very busy...

Hey all need advice/help. After getting a ct scan yesterday I was told today that I have Chronic as well as Acute Sinusitis. In addition I was told it was "with thickness?" and "Air Fluid Levels?" No idea what the thickness and air fluid levels are about. Unfortunately the nurse gave me the...

Ok, me too. I thought for moment that distilled water was the real secret.

I read this post and thought I'd give it a try. After two weeks of using, I'm marginally better. Just went in today for a ct scan of the noggin. Doc thinks deviated septum or polyp. Will know more when he sees the ct in a couple of weeks. Going on a trip in feb to do some serious diving...

You might find better rates coming out of Narita or Tawain to Palau.

Try Far Eastern Air Transport (FAT) out of Tawain.

I'm heading over in Feb for a live aboard. Spent some time doing some diving in Phuket back in 2006. Patong Beach has most of the dive shops/training. Sunrise divers is on Phuket down by Karon beach. From what I remember Karon beach is alot quieter than Patong. We also spent some time in...

Soooo, where are they?? Still at Spyderco waiting to be shipped to retailers? Does anyone know what retailers are going to carry them?

I've heard of three divers (all first hand accounts) w/close encounters up here (all in Del Norte County). All were within Pt. St. George Reef area. Southeast Seal Rock is within the reef area and is one of the few stellar rookeries in Nor-Cal. One had a stellar swim up to his mask and check...

Just keep plugging away at it!!! When I did my AOW class this summer we did our deep dive about 5 miles offshore by a rock outcropping in 46 degree water. It was my first dive with a full 7mm wetsuit and initially I had problems getting negative. I was just about to signal to the boat to come...

Sticks and stones......just remember you are the older brother. Obviously I learned it from someone!!

The scariest part for me was when we hit the water. Looking to my right, the big blue fading to black as you looked down, to the left the wall. The DI was working with just me and my brother and was confident with our skills. No reef hooks were required as the current was not as strong as it...

Hey, my bro and I are going in Feb. We both have about 25 dives under our belt. So go for it. We got certified in Palau in 2006 and we did our last dive of our ow cert at the Blue Corner w/the current and all. Have fun!

What about dive lights? I have my BCD light that I carry on all dives, and the bigger hand-held. Are they worth taking or do most liveaboards provide lighting equipment?

Older yes, wiser....well...we'll see. I also did another post for what to bring on the basic scuba question. Yeah I pack too much, but at least we both pack the same thing on trips. 1 bottle GJD, 1 CMR. CHEERS.

Great advice here!! Thanks all! I'm taking notes, keep it coming.
