It was the cold! I'm happy to report that with my new 3mm full wetsuit, 2mm booties, and a bandana on my head (and Gatorade) last week in Cabo, I was fine. (Yes, I would have been cold in Cabo without a wetsuit, I'm a wuss :D ) I knew I was cold, but didn't really think anything of it because I'm cold 80% of my life!

Thanks everyone!
Hooray! :dazzler1:

Chalk one up for wearing the proper exposure suit!

Glad it was none of the serious stuff.

I have less than 10 dives in, but I have noticed that I am always so tired it's all I can do to pull myself up the ladder, collapse on a bench and submit to the humiliation of having my gear taken off for me. My hubby/buddy, on the other hand, describes diving as effortless. I don't consider myself out of shape (walk on my lunch hour, lift weights, ride stat. bike, do H20 aerobics).

This happened even on the two drift dives we just did in Cozumel where we didn't really have to swim at all... But I do recover enough after the proper surface interval to do a second dive.

Does anyone else have this happen?

I am posting here cause I'm a new diver; if I should be in dive medicine, tell me to get my butt where it belongs :-)

I haven't read all the posts, so I am going to assume someone reccommened Nitrox, but if not, take a Nitrox course. The increased oxygen percentages will reduce your fatigue.
