Valerie's Dive Flag
Valerie's Dive Flag
Okay, since I'm high and dry for awhile I decided I needed a constant reminder of diving. After some experimentation I discovered white-out works much better than a paint pen for fiberglass casts...
Re: Valerie's Dive Flag
Hmmm... now I have to paint a white-out flag on my harness so I can continue to look like you! :rr: Poor Val - how much longer until you're back?!

Re: Valerie's Dive Flag
Seems like you could modify your dry glove system and get that thing all nice and cozy like inside the suit. Or just wrap it up in a plastic bag? Talk about misery......... Well, it seems you're finding ways to manage, first the club dive, now this. I'm sure typing isn't easy but you have plenty of time to develop lesson plans for your classes, with pictures and slides and tables and charts.................. and well, it should keep you busy until you can dive again!

That with a little Nitrox and you've got yourself a little hyperbaric oxygen treatment going... ought to cut down the time to heal to a couple of weeks???Pez7378 wrote:Seems like you could modify your dry glove system and get that thing all nice and cozy like inside the suit.

I know HBO works with deep gashes. I wonder if it would work with broken bones.diver-dad wrote:That with a little Nitrox and you've got yourself a little hyperbaric oxygen treatment going... ought to cut down the time to heal to a couple of weeks???Pez7378 wrote:Seems like you could modify your dry glove system and get that thing all nice and cozy like inside the suit.

Val, would you mind being the subject of a small experiment in HB medicine?
Re: Valerie's Dive Flag
nice valerie, but how did you get that injury that is now making you suffer from SHORE SICKNESS????????????????????? 
TAKE only pictures, KILL only time, LEAVE only bubbles!
Re: Valerie's Dive Flag
Shore Sickness.... the malady that causes one to merely watch the bubbles from topside instead of making the bubbles below....sigh...
Actually, I had surgery to fix a 2 year old work-related injury. It was getting to the point of interfering more and more with diving, and hurting for longer and longer post-dives, so I decided enough was enough, time to get things fixed, once and for all.
But, while I'm high and dry, my gear is all getting serviced, vizzed, hydro'd and tumbled where necessary, so everything will ready when I am!
