    New PADI Texas Waterways Spec.

    I know a guy that dives out of CUDA that would definately qualify. He is 78 and still dives regularly with his son and grandson. He can't wait to be able to dive with his great-grandson as well. The guy is really amazing!

    Nose Bleeds

    What you may be experiencing is actually a sinus squeeze. I know that the last time I went down, I had a little congestion and didn't even realize it. When I surfaced I noticed that there was blood comeing out my nose just a bit. Of course I ignored it and wound up with a major sinus headache...

    Just quit smoking

    That is so true. I bought an exercise bike the other day to start working on my Cardio. I can't believe that after the short time that I have not been smoking, my cardio has improved so much! I actually have a hard time keeping my heart rate above 150. My legs get tired way before I get...

    Just quit smoking

    Hi everyone, I can't begin to tell you how much I apreaciate the encouragement that I have found here. It has really helped, especially the peeps that have sent me personal messages. It has been 7 weeks now since I last picked up a smoke. I can't say that it has been easy but having so...

    Just quit smoking

    It has almost been 4 weeks now since my last smoke! There have been several rough times, but I just keep using the same tricks that helped me get off drugs and drink 15 years ago. I am horrible about procrastinating at times. I use this in my favor. I simply tell myself that I can smoke if I...

    Just quit smoking

    I can definately relate to the "what do I do now?" question. What I have done is taken up darts again. Now on my breaks, I play darts instead of smoking. This gives me somehting to do with my hands and gets me away from my desk for a while as well. So far so good. It has been 2 weeks...

    Newbie in need of Opinions

    Gratz on your C-card Lisa. Diving has become an obsession for me in a very short period of time. It has become just as important as riding my motorcycle. Now instead of my wife telling me to go play on the highway she tells me to go jump in the lake :D I am not sure what agency you are...

    Just quit smoking

    Hi everyone, This is the first time that I have posted in this forum, but thought you all might be some help. I started dive master class a few weeks ago and during some of my studies, I ran across the reason that it took for me to quit smoking. The risk of DCI is just too high for me. I...

    Another Transplant to TX...

    As far as a LDS, I go to Cuda, which is on hwy 26 just south of 820. Everyone there is like one big family. As far as dive locations, I have checked out Athens and Clear Springs, both are good for different reasons. Haven't been to PK yet but want to check it out too.

    Buying Gear at your LDS VS internet!!!

    Personally, I prefer to buy most of my gear from my LDS for several reasons. 1) Immediate gratification - I get to take it home with me. 2) Service - I know that i can quickly get whatever I buy serviced, This way I don't have to buy multiple backup gear to preent missing dives. 3) I...
