I am interested in this too. I have been want to learn to suba. I am assuming you are talking about suba diving.

Yes maam. Scuba diving is awesome. I just want to get certified as a dive instructor cause I plan on retiring in Belize and I want to open up a dive boat service in the Sanctuary Belize community. Being a captain and all diving has always interested me. I havent been diving since my op but I will definitely have to hear some input from real people before doing so.

I've been diving twice since surgery, in Madagascar and the Galapagos. Apart from the fact that I only need 3 lbs of lead now, nothing seems to have changed. I was always good on air and that's stayed the same, maybe gotten a little better. I do get colder quicker but a thicker wetsuit seems to do the trick.

Wish I could retire to Belize! It's Portland OR for me...the water's really cold...

No problems with the sleeve at all? I thought there might have had some form of pressure limitations or discomfort at deep depths.

I am very fortunate to be able to live where ever because the majority of my work is either in the gulf of Mexico or trinidad to brazil and venezuela. So belize seems to be a hub for me.

Now if Edison Chouest sent me to alaska that might be a different story but working on a huge Icebreaker in freezing temps isnt to thrilling to this warm blooded coonass. I will stay down here making $100 bucks less a day. Tyvm lol.

I appreciate the feedback
