GM> Just an opinion George I would like to answer this from my own experiance, When i was 15 i got very sick, the doctors said i will have a bad heart I said Oh! yea we will see about this. was on penecillen for two years till i stopt my self, taking them. when i turned 18 it was national service time in the army, i was refused Bad health, I said dam what to i do now, but i did not stop there. the results? I'm was a traindriver Steam and diesle I'm a private pilot also have earobatic licence and do gliding I did 2 years Motercycle racing 10 years sprint car races been a milkman for the last 15 years doing home deliverys I'm a padi dive master volenteer for every opertunity at the hospital for Test so that i can monitor my health. and the result I have a very strong heart, heart beat, 49 beats per min and in very good healt, my lungs are better than expected. so my advice is find out how you can inprove your self see other doctors and things can change like thy did for me. even now I never tell the doctor what i had, there is no record here where i live so move to another state and leave your medical records behind. the only thing i do now is when i get cold I put on clothes, and take them off when it gets hot. Study all about the subject there is to know, so you can help your self. I hope this helps Ginger --- Maximus/2 3.00 * Origin: STAR-BYTE BBs Cannington W.A. 61-[09-458-1255] (3:690/416) --------------- FIDO MESSAGE AREA==> TOPIC: 186 SCUBA Ref: CG200000 Date: 11/25/95 From: CHARLIE GIPSON Time: 12:27pm \/To: JAMES GAMPPER (Read 1 times) Subj: Re: LIFT BAG On 11-23-95 19:47, JAMES GAMPPER posted to CHARLIE GIPSON About Re: LIFT BAG: CG> rise to the surface via his inflated BC.. and can still be rescue CG> You ought to take a Rescue course.. lots of fun..and can be lots CG> work (good way to get in better shape!)

I certified last May, and have only 8 or 9 dives total logged. Never been scalloping. So everything you might suggest is gonna be new to me. If that doesn't bother you (me being a newbie), and I LOVE scallops, let's do it next spring. ....Mark in Beautiful Downtown Pembroke, NH I know this world needs help.
