My Ears Work Again!!! Report w/ Pics 9-10-08

[wjefferis]

Well, after almost three months out of the water for problems after problems with my ears, my ENT finally gave me the go ahead and get in the water. I decided to take it easy on my return and went to Vortex Springs. I met DJjohhnymac and Vortex Blue and they were very nice and helpful. The spring defintely has a more natural look and there is lots of "spring grass" around that is pretty cool. Man, now that my ears are back I can't wait to get back out. If anyone wants to get out and do some beach diving let me know. Here are some pictures from today:

GREAT NEWS Walter!! I know how great it feels when you descend and you feel the ears equalize and all is well. Those are the best Vortex pictures I have ever seen. Lets go diving again soon! Just got my new BP/W and need to get used to it. Let me know when you are ready to go.

My ears finally work, I have a week off, and just my luck Ike is jackin' things up!!!!! I would really like to go check out Navarre Pier and see how things look now. It may even get better after Ike. If things stay crummy I wouldn't be opposed to going back to Vortex, but I would rather do some shore diving closer if possible.

Those are the best Vortex pictures I have ever seen.

I'm up for either one. The tides and surf are huge on the coast right now though.

Lets keep an eye on things. I do not have to go back to work until wed the 17th for night shift. So hopefully things will settle down quick and we can get wet.
