    Forgetting to turn on computer before the dive

    I suppose it's a very basic question, but although I've searched for the answer on the forum, I haven't found any. The closest thing is having a computer which fails in the middle of a dive, but I don't know whether the situation would be exactly the same. It's never happened to me, but...

    Unbearable itching because of sweat

    I'm sorry for asking about something that has nothing to do with diving (though this forum is supposed to be for non-diving topics related to women), but when I wondered whom I might ask, this is the first place that came to my mind. It sounds like a silly joke, but it's a real problem. Here in...

    Ear pain when going upwards?

    I've found a problem with my ears when I dive which I'd like to ask you about, since everybody (including my OWD instructor) says it cannot be as I describe it.

    Losing weight when you don't have time to lose it

    I'm 55 years old, 5' 7" and 172 pounds, which classifies me as overweight. But when I was a slim teenager I still weighed more than most of the people in my class, so I suppose I have heavy bones (and I look like it, having broad shoulders, long arms and legs...). When people see me fully...

    Changes in pressure and menstrual flow

    I'm a recent addition to the diving world, so I haven't had to dive while on my period. I'd like to know, how do pressure changes affect the flow, if at all? I've only had one previous experience involving a big difference in pressure owing to altitude, when I spent a month near Titicaca Lake...

    Hello from Spain!

    Hello everyone! Here's someone who has been pondering on the possibility of becoming a diver for so long that shortly I'll have to walk to the shore with a walking frame before diving in the water! Now, seriously, I'm 55, which is hardly a reasonable age to start diving, though it's not utter...
