I would love to hear followups on the status of the kelp recovery there. I have a family vacation planned there in June:D

That may prove difficult with your mothers genes...

Neurologist said repetitive strain. 35 yrs of looking straight up 8hrs a day. The last few weeks have been mixed... Oral steroids and naproxin made ALL symptoms go away in just a couple of days. Then the drugs burned holes in my stomach and sent me back into the hospital. Luckily my wife(usualy...

Diagnosed with inflamation of the spinal cord. Only two days into treatment (Methlprednisolone&Naproxen)and already a noticable improvement! Noticable reduction of nmbnes in arms and hands. Orthostatic BP improving noticabley except when I have to talk to workers comp insurance agent on phone...

I'm usually the first one back on the boat because I got sick:depressed: As for the shallow water equalizing issue I plan on investigating that further but I don&#8217;t hold much hope for it. For every >60ft dive I make on vacation I probably do 20 <30ft dives here at home and have never been...

BP reacted about the same on lower dose but symptoms were much less noticeable. I would think that would be normal if its high to begin with and drops when I stand it ends up closer to normal. re BPV.. This is the first I've heard this idea and definitely worth investigating! Thanks! I do abuse...

5ft10 185lbs with no other health problems other than mild high BP controlled on 320mg Diovan (without diuretic). They ran more tests than I can remember ,CT,MRI,MRA and some kind of ultrasound heart video. Only test not done was EMG and I just got appt for EMG test Wednesday morning. One of the...

Thanks for the reply Tracy, yes they did MRI and MRA with dye both brain and spine and said only thing they found was light errosion of vertebrae (cant recall exact term they used) which they said was maybe a little more than expected for a 53 yr old. They did not do EMG because they said that...

This question realy comes in 2 parts. First, can an old neck injury and low pulse pressure cause nausea and vomiting at the end of a dive during the ascent stage. And 2, Why do doctors always take your BP sitting? I feel like years of problems might have been solved sooner if they had simpley...

An unusual observation... we were at cocoview a month ago and by the end of the week I noticed another guest looked like he'd been devoured! I didn't have a single bite! We had taken some kind of spray with us but I never used it. The only thing that I can think of is the old myth(maybe not so...

My wife and daughter both love thier Zenas. I dive a Zeagle brigade and love the ripcord system. If a diver is weighted correctly dumping weights should never be required. If you do just "gotta" dump weights its only pull away.

Thanks for the info. I'm a big fan of shore diving so we'll be on the front porch alot. @ 45 ft I'll run low on gas long before deco. I was going to email them and see if they could have a bigger tank for me on the boat and that'll make nitrox a bigger priority. Thanks again

I was already counting the days till my trip. 5 1/2 weeks... Your report realy puts me in the "are we there yet" mode! I do have one question. Your dive profiles at the end of the report look like avg depths were <50ft? Is this typical? I'm guessing nitrox wouldn't be worth it?

My daughter lost her booties last monday 24th. They walked away by themselves off the seawall at Casino Pt Dive Park. Size 8 or 9 I think. She doesn't know for sure the brand, Tilos maybe?. Probably someone confused them with thier rental gear. She had them laid out drying right next to her...

2 dives a day isn't worth it. If you're on a liveaboard doing 5 dives a day its money well spent.

Waiting on email to confirm my CCV booking ...:D Catalina in June and CCV in August, looking forward to summer!

Thanks for the quick replys guys.. But this may come down to one simple thing. My wife keeps telling me how much she wants one of those over-the-water bungalos, so an extra 1400 to keep her happy may be money well spent. Like the old saying goes " If shes not happy I'm not happy" but when she is...

Thats about all i expect on a dive trip. I wonder why such a HUGE $$$ difference ? Expedia is 2500 incl tax=air and FI vs 2400+tax at CCV alone plus 1400 air on AA. ---------- Post added January 18th, 2013 at 02:28 PM ---------- Besides.... 1400+ will buy an extra week on Catalina!

We were realy wanting to go to CCV this year but they're booked up the week we wanted. So it's either free up a different week or stay somwhere else. I found a package deal on expedia at FI for 1400 less than CCV was going to cost us. Pretty sure that doesn't include diving but 1400 will buy...

Thanks Dr Bill, I'll look into a bike for my dad. My parents do not dive but I'm sure my Mom will want to drag my Dad around town every chance she gets. He's recovering from a fairly severe case of diverticulitus and he is getting stronger every day. We've had this trip booked a long time and he...
