    Diving after a TIA

    As for tests, I had the carotid doppler, echocardiogram, stress test and a cat scan on my head. Everything came out good, so it seems like an anomaly. But something had to cause it. That's what bothers me - not knowing. I've got my yearly checkup next week so I'll ask about the PFO the Holter...

    Diving after a TIA

    Hey folks. As best as my physician can determine, I had a TIA on New Years Eve (2012/2013). I'm 57 yo, have high BP which is mostly under control, but was high at the time. It is down to a very nice level now. I have read that diving with controlled high blood pressure is considered safe...

    Hurricane damage Turks and Caicos

    Does anyone know where most of the good diving is on T & C ? We were mulling over diving their this coming summer. We vacationed in Grand Cayman after Ivan came thru and they had most things back up to par. Does T & C have the resources to rebuild quickly? Thanks, Beck

    Blue Water on Sunday May 18th

    Hey, I need to test out my new BC and Reg before vacation in three weeks? Is anyone interested in BW Sunday after lunch? Now the disclaimer: I may have a work conflict - I probably won't know until Sunday morning. So I may have to back out last minute. But I REALLY need to test my new...

    DUI Drysuit Demo Days this weekend in Birmingham

    Hey, Not really sure what the water temp was. Purdy cold though. The vis was really bad, but there were a ton of people there. I talked with a buddy today who had called them about a schedule. His son in law is getting certified before our June dive trip. I think he said they are cranking...

    DUI Drysuit Demo Days this weekend in Birmingham

    Well, my impression.... It was quite an ordeal to try one of these dry suits. It was a two hour process for us, standing in line, filling out paperwork, getting fitting, getting regs modded, etc. A rep from DUI blamed it all on the storm from the night before, but my opinion is that the...

    Where to take Advanced Open Water class?

    Scuba Ventures in Vestavia should be able to help as well as Alabama Blue Water in Pelham. I think that SV is just about ready to post their schedules. It's a bit early yet. Good luck, Beck

    A puffer fish bit off a diver's finger!

    He didn't seem very upset at loosing his finger. I play guitar. If I lost a finger I'd be devastated.....and Eric Clapton could breathe a sigh of relief. ....just kidding....really really kidding. Beck ;)

    Alabama roll call

    Duh....I work not far from there and drop in once in a while to check out equipment in their pool. They have a great artifact collection as well - kind of like a mini free museum. Beck
