    I know Hondo did dive, not sure if he still does though....

    If you happen to see any big grouper down there, stick a spear in one and bring him top side....

    Hi Ray

    After my first treatment I went back to diving with no problems but I limit myself to just 100feet and no more. After the second treatment it did a lot of damage to my left ear and so the diving ended at that point. I wish sometimes I was a Fish as I love the open waters and just get so depressed when back home and not being able to dive anymore. But I guess that is ok because if I was a fish someone like John would hook me on some of his fake bates and I would just be a memory in his belly. Ha ha ha

    Check with your ENT before going Diving just to make sure your ears are in good condition.



    Take care :+})

    Here's what I did
    The dry mout was a problem after irradiation. Diving otherwise got easier. I had a very easy time equalizing pressure after irradiation. It goes either way. I got lucky and my eustacean tubes opened. But they can close down as well.

    To solve the dry mouth, I bought a scuda system. If you are not aware of it, scuda is the acronym for self-contained underwater drinking apparatus. I installed it myself. It was a godsend for the dry mouth, and I highly recommend it, if you are diving in salt water.

    Now I've got this dang tight mouth problem and I haven't tested myself for a year.
