sounds like you had a great time Frosty. Gotta be careful though, one can only cheat death so many times.
I've also been diving to Cancun but nothing so far has beat has beat Guam. Lots of WW2 stuff.
I think diving in the tropics is something everyone should put on the to do before they die list...
I still need to see the Sistine Chapel and Big Ben before I die, and the Pyramids of Egypt.
Looks like great fun. I went Scuba diving in Cancun years ago.
Hi Frosty,
the Scuba diving photos are really impressive.
The most impressive thing about them is your sun tan.
The next time you go scuba diving just remember that humans are pretty pressure sensitive.
So it was during my military career: Whenever I received pressure I produced double counter-pressure.
(Being an idiot you can make general in the military - you just have to be the better idiot.)
Sorry, I just made Captain!

You should dive around the Philippines. Many WWII sunken ships in the Manila bay and surrounding area.

I've gone through the running out of air bit about every other time I go diving. Last time for me was 50+ feet down.
Our group leader didn't catch my repeated I am low on air signals. My tank went flat and I had to buddy breath the last 10 minutes back.
They were all concerned about me when I got back. I was just annoyed. The first time it happens it scary. The 5th or 6th time its just annoying.
But it really stress's the importance of keeping your buddy very close if your below the 30 foot limit!
Now my diving group has a new rule, the big people get the big tanks and the little people get the little tanks. For some reason the smaller built people dont seem to get that us 250# muscular built types use far more air then they do even when relaxed and calm.
Never had the nose bleed problem though. I've had a sneezing fit before. Thats really a hard one to work though. Our natural instinct is to take a deep breath after each sneeze but the sneeze can also cause your mask to loose it seal and fill up over your nose and can make your lip seal on the mouth piece get off. So that makes for a rather scary few seconds when you have no air in you lungs, a mask half full of water, a crooked mouth piece, plus your really wanting to take a deep breath!
How deep are those ships by the way ? I don't plan to go past 30-35 meters.

It varies of course, if I recall my last wreck dive, it was around 100 feet deep, we had to do a decompress dive on the way back up. We could only dive around the top of the structure as going past that would put us in danger of nitrogen narcosis as I am sure your aware. You do have a PADI cert or NAUI do you not? Most places will not give you gear or air without a card.
What are considered the big tanks. Don't most people use the Aluminum 80's?
By the way, I always hear popping/crackling noises in my ears during ascending. Is this normal ?
