    Thank you, Henderson...

    I will surely look into this! I'm 5'5" and about 180 and have a heck of a time getting ANY equipment to fit - apparently divers aren't supposed to have breasts! Thank you for posting!

    Puffy eyes and facial skin after dives

    Bonaire Eels dying

    Oct 6 Karpata, saw one dead, spotted - big guy, too, but saw a few on each of the 12 day dives we did. I'm sorry to hear about this - Bonaire is a wonderful dive spot. Thanks for bringing this up and I surely DO hope the cause is found Chris

    Bonaire Trip Report - 9/13/20/2009

    Ok - now I'm ABSOLUTELY lathering at the mouth and nose! Steve, that was a super trip report and I'm going to suggest my group read it when I send them a few last minute items tomorrow before we go to Bonaire on Friday/Saturday. I'm a seminar coordinator for a group that does programs for...

    Swelling face and eyes

    To all - Thank you for your suggestions. ANd I LOVED the picture of the righteous mask hickie! Wow! May I get one like that some day! I think part of the problem is the salt - is there anything to relieve the cracked lips and swollen eyes and redness besides time? Probably not - I'll use...

    Swelling face and eyes

    Help! I'm a new diver and I'm going to Bonaire in a few days. I'll be making 12 boat dives (if I live through each previous dive!!!) and during my OW, my face and eyes swelled up so much I looked like a puffer fish! Any hints as to how to avoid or mitigate the swelling? Chris

    PADI vs SSI?

    Yeah NAUI! I had a rather laidback seeming instructor and an AWESOME divemaster and a crew of two other fellas who were completely superior. The instructor was different in the water - and we had a very TOUGH water portion of our course. Difficult and long swim portion, repeat and repeat...

    Our First Pool Session

    Joe: I just got my C Card a few weeks ago and I, too had trouble clearing my mask at first. To keep the water out of your nose, try exhaling JUST A LITTLE BIT. And I mean the teeniest bit - more like try to keep air pressure in your nose. I also swam around for 10 or 15 minutes with a half...

    Greetings from (normally not so) sunny Washington

    Hi there from the East Side of Washington! There is some diving over here on the dry side as well. I sort of like the idea of bursting into flames when the sun is out - not as much chance of that on the wet side as here, but I'll happily give it a chance! There are a nice bunch of folks on...

    Another newbie in the great Pacific NW

    Hey Frank! I'm from the Tri-Cities on the eastside so I'm probably not dive buddy material - sort of a long commute - but I wanted to welcome you as one newbie to another. We come over to Langly and Keystone to certify from Kennewick, Pasco and Richland and there is a class over there pretty...

    Hi all new diver

    Hi! New myself so I'm sending a big hello and a best of luck as you take your tests! I HATED the surface dive but everything else went OK - my dive master made my buddy and I go down at least 15 feet (not the 10 as promised!) to pick something up and I'm SO buoyant that it was a task!!! We...
