    Gear and Tips for the Bearded Diver?

    Hello, All! My husband and I are signing up to get our PADI OW. The local program requires us to have our own masks. My husband has quite the beard, and I am wondering: 1.

    Safe to dive? Ear surgery 40 years ago...

    Hello, My spouse and I are thinking of getting our PADI Open Water certification this year. We have both been on one "beginner" dive before. My husband had a prosthesis put in his ear when he was 5. The reason for the prosthesis was that he had frequent ear infections, which created scar tissue...
