I am a Peds flight RN that is required to fly in helicopters all the time. Generally, they fly an altitude of 1,500 - 2,000 feet. If I did multiple dives with depths about 40-60 ft, would this present a danger if I had a trip and it was within the 18 hr window of "no fly". A friend asked me...

I'm not passing the buck. I walked into the mine, I jumped into the 58 degree water all 3 times. No one drug me down the stairs to the mine and no one pushed me in. It was my own decision to do this. I was merely describing my experience and what happened and I lived to tell about it. YES, I...

As I am quickly finding out both here and from personal experience, just because I have a card saying that I am qualified to dive in a certain environment, doesn't mean that it is wise nor safe. My assumption was that if it wasn't safe, PADI and more wise and experienced divers would hold me...

The dive instructor and the one safety had dry upper line drysuits and seemed fine. The other safety was young and diving with a 5 ml and seemed OK. Once topside, I ran into divemaster who stated he dove there with Pinnacle 7/5mm Semi-Dry Merino Wool Jumpsuit / Wetsuit with Attached Hood and...

First off, let me tell you that I am a novice in diving. So this is a review from a novice diving Bonne Terre Mine and can be taken with a grain of salt. I received my pool and classroom experience from a very good dive club in St Louis, MO. I did the open water portion in St Croix were I had...

I feel just achy with mild hot cold sweats from time to time. Just feel blah. No vomiting or repiratory issues. Just called DAN and they said it could be lingering effects of hypothermia and might last 24-48 hrs. Thank all of you for your insight and time. This is a wonderfull sight. I...

OMG just watched your link to "911". How scary. I feel sick watching that. There was one experienced diver to each person but I have new respect for mines and caves and cold water. Thank you for your input. I am going to call the number now.

I won't throw out names. Just wish I had been better prepared for it. My diving had been in St Croix and was totally unprepared for mine. If I do it again I will be better prepared. My dive suit sucked...kind of a biggie with water temp that cold. Ultimately it was my fault for getting in a...

This was not by myself. I would never be that foolish. I value my life. I was with a trained and experienced dive instrutor and two other experinced divers at this cave. It is a world famous mine....I know I said cave but it is a mine. This was with dive group

Went on x3 cave dives yesterday with rental suit. Water temp 58 degrees and each dive was about 40 min. I know I was having early hypothermia by last dive. Suit had holes and was loose fitting. Every move brought cold water into suit. Then we were hanging out in cave between dives. I...

Thank you both :)

So just dipping it quick in fresh water for a few seconds maybe didn't hurt it.

I am a new diver and when I got out of the salt pool to clean my reg off, I forgot to put the dust cover on. I didn't realize this till I got home 3 hrs later. Have I ruined my new reg already. I am supposed to go diving in the AM
