    Vis is great here in Jacksonville!

    Hi Karen - we went out again this past Sunday and viz still around 40ft. The depth depending on the wreck / reef location are around 70-110 ft. Depending on the dive charter / shop some request you are AOW cert or have a specific number of open water dives in the ocean before going out with...

    Joint replacements vs. depth?

    @Dr. Tracy :) Thank you. I've actually talked with my ortho and DAN and both of course say know your limits and dive your limits. @herbdb I've had my Mares quattro fins now for about a year, doing pretty good with them in the water and they aren't too difficult to unclasp with the quick...

    Vis is great here in Jacksonville!

    Did my first offshore Jax dive on the 10th of this month, really really amazing! Two dives on the Tug Powerful and one on the EF Culverts. On the tug we easily had 50+ viz. At the culverts saw the largest stingray (for me..) ever, easily 7 ft across and 8 in length. Looking forward to...

    Joint replacements vs. depth?

    Thanks all - with now having 40 dives logged some at depth and others in the 50 degree temp range I can agree that I don't have too much of an issue. I found a great pair of flippers that are decently easy to get on. I just have to take it a bit slow when gearing up and if there are stairs...

    Joint replacements vs. depth?

    Thanks again for info, my hip replacement was at age 31 last year - My doctor actually encourages me being in the water and is quite happy that I'm as active as I have been the past year since the surgery. Did three 5k walks for charity last year and started diving in past month. I love swimming...

    Joint replacements vs. depth?

    Thanks for all your input Passley, I was more thinking AOW next year at the earliest and for now concentrating on working with my new gear and yes, buoyancy and some fun dives to get the experience I'll need (and want). Gives me lots to look forward to! =)

    Joint replacements vs. depth?

    Thanks for the reply At the very least I'll be going AOW, would like to see reefs but also deeper wreck sites. Talked with local dive team members who all of course say 'call DAN' - so that's my next step. This last surgery was #24 for me and surgeon gave me the 'ok' but would like an...

    Joint replacements vs. depth?

    I just received my OW cert this past Sunday - but was wondering if I'd experience at deeper depths any problems with a metal implant? I had a hip replacement 1 year ago (Feb 08) with a metal on metal (cobalt-chrome). I've been down to 41ft so far but looking to further that provided no issues...
