    Scuba diving has made me a wimp re any water related movies!

    Since being certified I have been reluctant to watch any drama/action movies that have any relation to scuba. I usually won't even read the synopsis, I just hurry past that selection. Documentaries are ok, mostly. Today I decided I should stop being such a wimp and clicked on the description...

    Cramps during diving

    First off, I’ve never really had a leg cramp before, a twinge occasionally but that’s about it. A few nights ago I had a massive cramp of my quad that woke me out of my sleep. I won’t bore you with the details but it took several minutes before it eased enough for me to stop sounding like I...
