I'm shocked you got cleared to dive, especially still showing symptoms.. I have seen two dive doctors now,,I have no symptoms but i had DCS type II..all the doctors agree there should be no diving for a minimum of 6 months. I can not even scuba in a 12' pool. I can work out, swim and free dive...

Where is your location? are you planning on diving in the ocean?...if you are planning on being an ocean diver in Monterey..get your check out dives in Monterey..We will not allow a diver to dive with our shop or club in Monterey without having a training dive in the ocean, if they have never...

Wow, thank you for the post..we can all learn from those who have had a dive incident and been brave enough to tell about it..I too got bent recently in Cozumel. We don't know why, I did everything right and safe and there was no mistake..except that i did not recognize that i had the skin bends...

You are so right..We teach Naui/padi/tdi/hsa. We teach almost exclusively Naui. OW students are taught basic rescue skills in the class to get certified. They have to be able to skin dive to 10' and bring up a unconscious skin diver. They also are taught how to bring a unconscious scuba dive up...

New condition Womens XCEL Thermo Barrier Wetsuit for sale. Size 12Short. This suit was brand new and only worn a couple times before an injury resulted in no diving for 8 months. I lost a lot of weight during that time and the suit was too large. I bought the same suit in a smaller size and...

Always sad to see a shop close. In todays economey it isn't surprising. The cost of renting a pool is always the most expensive part of teaching. As more and more pools are used for private swim instructors, scuba instruction is fazed out...in our area the colleges won't allow us to use their...

Way cool! which part of BreakWater did you see all the squid? was it a night dive? We dove breakwater yesterday. One to the pipe and the second across middle reef...only a couple of our divers reported seeing squid during the dives,,,but we were near the bottom looking at the rocks and those...

Thanks Drbill...Im a firm believer in verbally letting folks know about bad dive habits and rude behavior...My one and only dive injury occurred at breakwater..conditions had kicked up to larger swells and they were close together...i got all of our students out safe and i was the last to...

OUCH! there are only a few scuba tools we say are "MUST HAVE'S" these lights are one of them..we have two and i would DIE if i lost mine...when boat diving, after removing our i always throw them into my back pack..if my lights go over so does my wallet and car keys!...we will keep our eyes open...

I began diving Monterey bay in 74' ...I have now dove all over the world (except asia) and i still think Monterey is the best diving anywhere..but then i tend to be a adrenaline junkie....I dive dry during the winter and spring when temp can drop into the 40's...and when boat diving the temps...
