Last flight I did (first flight working on my BFR/IPC combo), even at just 3,000 feet it was rough. Ended up not doing the second flight to finish up because it seems like the problem has gotten worse (and I was perfectly clear that day, not even a hint of allergy, stuffiness, etc). So, I've...

OK, looking at the DAN info on-line it doesn't look like it's worth continuing at this time. Maybe I'll try again in a few years and see if there are any changes in medical technology. Thanks!

Been working on my OW for the last couple years or so on and off. I've been able to battle my way down to the bottom of the pool but it's always a challenge. Not comfortable enough to attempt the quarry dives. Related: I no longer fly commercial at all as they bounce the air pressure MUCH...

Married 8 years, just about to reach the 1st anniversary of our SCUBA adventure together. Decided to give it a try together because we'd heard good things and had crossed off everything else on our lists. So far not much of an adventure as we're still working on completing our initial Open...

Work is interfering. Hopefully next time...

Is there a good time for wanna-be divers to visit on Saturday and talk to people about diving?

To clarify, not an add-on. Trying to complete initial Open Water. Around a dozen pool training dives done since June 2017 (IIRC? sometime early that Summer anyways), have not made it to a quarry yet. Love our current shop but are having a difficult time getting it completed there due to...

What's the best way to find local dive shops and find out what agency they're with? Also, while I presume I'd have to start training all the way back at square one if I switched to a PADI shop (currently training under SSI), would it have to be a start over event with another SSI shop?

To attempt to be more precise (correct me if I'm wrong), I believe it's one year from last lesson too (rather than start date) from my research/what I've been told. Similar position here with taking a break. Started June of 2017, worked on it through November. Currently waiting for Winter to...

Unfortunately, yeah, way too busy. Full time job and my spare time/days off go into keeping the house from caving in on my head and the cars running. Learning to fly was easier than diving. I worked right next door to the airport so I only needed a block of 2 hours for each training session...

I presume that's the one? I don't remember the name right now, but about an hour trip (each way) sounds right. We both need to get it done. Weekends with more than a couple hours free are hard to come by. Of course, maybe that's telling me something too. Might not be worth throwing any more...

As soon as I started my diving training I found out that an awful lot of my pilot friends used to dive (none do currently though). And many of them also are motorcyclists too (about 50/50 on active/not). Zero overlap between my auto racing friends and any of the above though oddly. You'd...

This. All the pool training, class work, and written test were done a long while ago. The shop is great and offers all the extra practice time you want, and we've done TONS of that as the shop is just a few minutes from the house. Easy to pop over there for a couple hours and then zip home...

Been working on my Open Water (SSI) since early Summer of 2017 with my dive buddy. Enjoying it, but all our time is in the 10 foot pool. Now I don't mind having a gajillion pool hours (it's still fun), but my issue is that getting weather plus our schedule to allow the quarry dives to finish...

We (myself and my wife) just did our first intro in the pool session. Looking forward to doing more as even that little bit was really fun! Not sure exactly where we're going with this (no particular goals), but it does look to be an interesting and educational journey.
