I get bad headaches if i'm not hydrated, breathing dry air doesn't help matters, so make sure you are well hydrated before you dive

My parents lived over there for a few years so I was over there quite a bit. We were in Male and I dived with Sea Explorers, can highly recommend them Sea Explorers Dive School, Malé, Maldives.

Look at the O'Three Point Below Base (PBB): O'Three Custom Drysuits - Point Below Base

Nice one, well done. Hopefully will get mine soon too :)

Hi Mel, before you decide what course you wish to take i'd chat with the instructors that would be teaching you the course, having a good instructor I would say is more important than the course you do. As for where you do it, it would depend how susceptible you are to the cold. If you do it in...

I'd always remove it of you're doing more than one dive where you don't need it, otherwise run it down with the spg hose and attach it someway, Jim's innertube idea is a good one!

Personally i'd go with a drysuit, but I feel the cold very easily. Other problem there is that if you then decide to travel more to dive you will need to get a wetsuit for warmer temps. There's people here diving in a 7mm wetsuit in 10*C temps and they reckon it's fine. Go with ajduplessis's...

Hey, congratulations to you both on your cert!! With the ear if you had trouble equalizing then you may have a mild barotrauma. As blood or fluid accumulates in the middle ear a diver may experience a partial, complete or muffled hearing loss. I'd go see a doc to get checked to see if there...

Theres a few people over here (Ireland) that will use a 7mm in temps around 10*C but personally I think its too cold for that!!

I think the discover scuba is a great idea, my step daughter is begging me to take her diving so I want to sign her up for a discover scuba to make sure she does really like it before I go and spend a small fortune on kit for her! Only issue i've found is that a lot of places here don't have...

Maybe usefull in low viz, but to be honest i'd go with Diver0001 and just get the light!

If there are people stupid enough or well off enough to take the OP up on that offer then let them, surely if someone is going out there working for free as an already qualified DM then that will show in the work that they do and the organisation will feel the effects of having an inexperienced...

As the tooth is at the back, it may not be a tooth squeeze at all, sometimes as the upper molar and bicuspid teeth are so close to the maxillary sinus what is perceived as a tooth squeeze could actually be from the sinus applying pressure to the roots of teeth near the affected sinuses. If you...

Hey, i'm pretty new on here, and completely new to diving in Ireland as just moved here, but there seems to be a distinct lack of Irish divers on here :confused: where are you all?? I'm starting my Divemaster next month so hopefully will get a few dive buddies that way :) Anyway off to get my...

Hi Brett, I also recently joined as I found loads of info on here about the Divemaster course, like study guides etc. Not sure if you have seen it yet? It wont let me post a URL as I haven't made 5 posts or more yet, but if you look on the forum under Basic Scuba Discussions, then the sub forum...

Oh and one other thing, although you can get your classes and immersions free, you will still be expected to pay for your own materials, certification fee, and own all your own equipment...so it still works out pretty expensive!

Hi there, I just picked up an Internship basically by asking all my local schools if they did one and what was the application process. I got mails back from every single one saying yes they do but most of them by now can only offer internships midweek as all the weekends were full of existing...

Hi all, just spent ages reading the Divemaster Physics posts on here as i'm looking to do my Divemaster soon and the physics part is really stumping me! From all the great responses to peoples problems on there I decided to join up and say hi :D
