Just started the thread in time. That was a brief visit.
I was busy with some labjournal work and missed the divers. Good postings Karin!

Visitor

And.. Doubles

Good morning/afternoon Diana and Karin...quick captures there! A fish....(maybe also on the other thread)

Yup, that fishy was on the other thread...just got done reading through the post and seeing all your great captures! Nice day for the fish shots!
Congratulations, Michael! and also to Supreme talker, Eileen...maybe I can make it by the time I leave in 10 days? Nice surf again today!

Yep, working on your labjournal is important, Diana! I was glad I just finished reading all the posts of today, when the divers passed by.

I'm almost finished here, be back later...
Bye.
PS Barbara, it should be possible becoming supreme in 10 days... Keep posting!

soooo bored here today... 360 ish days left to go back

fish please come closer so we can see your eyeballs and scales...

I see John is having a serious case of PBD...Here's a pic to cheer you up that I didn't see posted yet...

And it looks like Indy popped in too!

Some divers headed in

P.S. meant to say hope those fires get put out Martine...big fires in one of my favorite parks in Montana too....HOT summer everywhere!

Or maybe they are just standing in the water?

Maybe just swimmers????
hello everybody!

Irma and Barbara, just swimmers

Hello Cynde and Barbara, I am looking and looking, but.... nothing happens, it all happens under water, but not in front of the ReefCam!

Good eyes, there Cynde...I think a STAT visit to the cams is needed and you, Kelly or Martine must arrange a trip since no one else seems to be available!

in the shadows, selecting their signs

Hi my favorite gang
Congrats John and Eilen. I am seriously jealous cause you are now a SUPREME Eileen !
Thanks for the nice morning posts. You know I love to watch them when back from work.
Still bad news with the southern France fires. Several people killed and an ecological mess.
This is also my good night post. Time to go to bed and have some rest. This heath wave truly kills me :o)
See you tomorrow for the breakfast. Have a nice evening and sweet dreams to all af you.

can't read the sign...


I'm to sexy for my shirt...

oops!

Looks like someone wants some attention...

anyone speak papiamento in here?

2 more weeks. 2 more weeks. can I make it?

Wow... lot's of great things happening on the island today. I just noticed I'm coming up on 500 posts (three and a half years after registering on BT). Do I get a new designation or anything? LOL

Here it looks like Indy cruising by again

Hmm, I think the guys above could use a few less Amstels or Brights...international beer bellies? LOL Michael I think there is a long wait for you now...after more than a year, I'm still 100 something posts short of supreme LOL!

And a nice head of red hair this young man has...
A visit from Satch

Hmm,not so red now...calling someone?

Jewels for the afternoon

Bye bye

Nice pastels! Gotta run, breaks over

Here's one of Jo...i'm off to the funeral...someone catch the sunsets

Congrats Ms. Supreme Eileen!

John, as the DFW area PDB Therapy Coordinator, I strongly urge you & your lovely wife to join us for our next session, Aug. 23! It should help ease the pain! In the meantime, stare at this:

I meant "PBD" not "PDB"...I guess I'd better get it right if that's what I'm going to be known as!

Just peeked in to find this big group

Hi BT-ers.
Lots of action going on.


This one is specially for you Cynde,

Staying a while

Chubs is back

bye bye

Some nice waves for post 2400

mmm. Micheal. The 500 does not change the status, I've been there a couple of days ago. Which set me thinking that I am really addicted, I got 600 today and I saw that I registered on the 4th of this month...

More gate action, (more doubles, GMTA Barbara)

Anyone here have trouble diving deep prior to open water cert? I'm trying to talk my wife into it and she complains that 5-7ish feet of water her ears start to hurt, she doesn't know if she'll be able to regulate them... ANyone have similar experience?

Hi gang,

you have been a busy bunch today , lovely belly pic too

jso

Hi John,
There are some possibilities.
1. She starts to late with regulating her ears. You should start almost right away when going under with your head. And repeat it while descending a couple of times and descent only when you feel that the pressure is equalized. If you do it to late, than it gets harder and harder to equalize.
2. Maybe she has an smear 'clod'(I don't know if this is the right word for it, because I'm dutch) in her ear and that can be easily removed by a doctor.

And to stay on topic:

Hoi Jos,
Are you starting your working'day' now?
Have a good shift, then.

I'm off to bed, , really tired.

Sweet dreams all of you!!

John, there is a papiamento thread elsewhere.. I think it is under the local topic..
Your wife should begin to clear her ears even before she gets in the water.. and then clear every few inches if necessary.. she should take her time.. there may be more about this if you do a search of this site.. I would assume that you mean that she is diving deep like in a pool and her ears hurt her or possible snorkling to a shallow depth and NOT actually scuba diving before taking any classes....

Hi everyone and Happy Wednesday Happy hour..

Right of course... Shallow skindiving/snorkling. Thanks for the help, and I found the language thread after I posted that... Thanks again.

Some fishies...
turquoise eyes?
lurker
Satch

For what it is worth I have had terrible ear problems (eustatian tubes too small and don't equalize easily). I thought I would never be able to dive. I take it slow, and go up a few feet if I can't clear, until I finally do clear. Just stay with her while she clears and be willing to go up and down a few feet in the process.

I'm no expert but I can tell you I have had no problems. Also, I PUT ALCOHOL IN MY EARS BEFORE I DIVE AND IMMEDIATELY AFTER I DIVE. This help evaporate any remaining water. Good luck.

Goodnight, Diana...at the rate you are posting you will be Supreme in no time!
New thread time! Wednesday sunsets

John -

From your post I can't tell if you mean your wife is on SCUBA equipment and having the problems or whether it's simply a during a free dive in the pool. If it's the latter, I can tell you that at 10' my ears are about ready to explode unless I'm breathing compressed air. I didn't think I would be able to dive but the first time I tried it (9 years ago as a 'resort course') we went straight down to about 40' and not so much as a twinge.

Occasionally when diving I've gotten in and had a hard time getting down without pain, but by taking it slow and going feet first I've always been able to pop back up a couple feet until it equalizes and then drop back down.

Good luck, and happy bubbles....

Goodnight everyone!
