    Goin' To Wazee 7/26 & 27

    Reef Point Diving in Racine is taking a group to Wazee this weekend. I'm taking a drysuit class, I think there there may be another taking a rescue class and some new OW students.

    How To Combat Seasickness?

    Drugs work for me, meclizine, 1/2 tab night before, other half in the morning. And as was mentioned, no greasy food. I usually eat a banana and a protein bar. Another banana during SI with some water and I'm good to go. For an alternative drug free method I have use ginger while sailing and it...

    Contacts when diving

    I always wear my contacts when diving, over 60 logged dives, no problems, no lost lenses, no infection ore irritation. I do bring a bottle of reweting solution and usually use a few drops after surfacing. I'm using Bausch & Lomb multifocal daily wear.

    Puerto Rico La Parquera diving, Parquera vs Paradise vs West Divers?

    I haven't been to PR in a while, but I dove with Angel at Parguera Divers in '04 & '05. He has a first class operation. Can't comment on the hotels in La Parguera as I was staying at the Copa Marina Beach Resort in Guanica. They also have a dive operation which was very well run. The wall dives...

    I am looking at a getting an MK25 and either a G250 or S555. It seems they are very similar in cost and design. Any pros or cons one way or the other?

    Tired after Dive

    How deep where you diving? How long, water temp? How fast did you ascend? I find that the harsher the conditions the more it physically takes out of me. Also, I have recently started doing a deep stop at for 2 min at 50% of my max depth and then slowly ascending from there. Time and exact...

    Racine, WI Area Training Locations

    I am looking for easy training spots. The Racine Quarry is a mess, so that's out. Finding local pool time has been a bust. So, I'm thinking Lake Michigan, Racine has some nice beaches, not sure how far out we would have to go to get 12-15 ft of water. The goal is to get brother-in-law, nephew...

    How often do you get Scared?
