Hi Edward, I would prefer it on a Saturday, because on Sunday I have the banda. Choose the place and I see you there mela.

pls this is very hard, In other post I had ask that if possible give the second day you can do. For sure its hard for all but fur us to organizate its much more like this. Or other wise we make a day and thats it, who can come is well come.

edward since it is not a competion I will try to come  just let me know the date and place.

Due that there are nearly equal and on the 1st s dates there are who cannot do it, I talked with some guys of the forum and think the date will be Sunday 3rd August. Sorry for that guys that can make it but every one understand that its hard to get every one together on a single day.

Now just make your name down so we begin to count. Also we will be in couples so put your name and if will be in couple make that of your buddy too so we see the teams. And to that ones that doesnt have a buddy we can meet him up with some one. There we go for fun and all the fish caught will be cooked up and sheared between us after the dive.

The place that will be selected on that day will have different depts so everyone can fish and have fun.

Hi Ed and all forum people!

It's been quite some time (putting it mildly...) since I last posted here - terribly busy and not diving much. Great initiative Ed; well done!

But as Simon might have told you I'm having some serious problems with my sinuses and can't really dive comfortably - very often I'm getting loads of blood coming out of my nostrils - pain starts even at 1m deep! I never had any problems to compensate, but this sinus infection is just killing me - in fact I'm diving maybe once every two weeks or so - I've been on a course of antibiotics, decongestants, sprays and what not...after all that medicine I dived twice and I was in perfect shape - but the third time I went for some diving I was back to square one. On Sunday I tried to go for a dive in the morning and it turned out to be horrible - I can compensate my sinuses when I go down but I have to use my hand to block my nose and blow (Frentzel) - but as you know I do not use that technique to compensate my ears so that is putting a lot of pressure on my ears (as I compensate using the hands free method without knowing it and over and above that I am using Frentzel at the same time) and its very uncomfortable when you are used to having your hands free - then problems really kick off on ascent as there is no way you can take expell air from your sinuses so it has to come out on its own merely by the difference in pressure - the problem is that due to the blockage, it's not coming out, so at the surface I would be feeling my head up pumped with air (painful and makes you dizzy) - then as the air starts to leak slowly it makes cracking sounds lol

But anyways - now I'm visiting an ENT specialist to see what's the matter with me cause GPs can get it right somehow!

Until now count me in, as probably I'll still come - in the meantime, if I'm instructed not to dive, I'll advise you to that effect so that you'll know I won't be diving - but in that case I'll still come over for a chat

Regards to all

yes you told me on our last chat. Im sorry for this. I dont know if you have any good ent but I use to go to  Pro. Eric Farruga. He s a diver too and he understand us really well on what we are talking about. Even he made some sergeries to spearfishers taht go really deep and they have no problems. They adviced to me and so I do. This guy my friend had a perforated eaur drum and now he s back to normal.

Would be nice if you join but helth comes first my friend. Also I will ask Simon G maybe he brings his dingy due to giovanni s one is on service so we have safty staff in the 4hrs we re doing in the water, so maybe you can help in this.
