Scuba Gear Runs Small?
kimm100569 asked:
I was recently trying on scuba gear. I wear a dress size and pant size 3-4. When I got to the place, the only thing I could fit into was a size 8 to 10. Does the gear run excessively small or is it the type? (They were wet suits I tried on) Thank you
It is in WOMENS size, not children. The associate check it out and so did I. The tag read WMN 10.
If it were for a 10 year old, I wouldn’t be apply to even put it on…..have you seen 10 yr olds clothing?

Seven Steps to Holiday Heaven
John Kaduwanema asked:
Going on holiday gives everyone time to relax and let their hair down. Getting away from the stress of everyday life is great, but being off your guard can significantly increase the risk of having an accident.
Going on holiday gives everyone time to relax and let their hair down. Getting away from the stress of everyday life is great, but being off your guard can significantly increase the risk of having an accident.
Most accidents on holiday occur within the first couple of days, and the most common types of injuries are fractures, cuts and sprains. These tend to occur early on in the holiday when you are unfamiliar with the new surroundings. You can reduce your chances of injury or illness by following these seven holiday steps.
1. Equip yourself with a travel first aid kit and medical pack
A travel first aid kit will need to include all the basic bandages and dressings necessary for your trip. A premium Medical Pack will include sterile syringes, needles and cannula sets. Having your own syringes and needles ensures that a high level of hygiene can be achieved if you are admitted to hospital in countries with a lower standard of hygiene than the UK . You could save yourself from a nasty infection.
2. Avoid getting bitten
In the UK , most bites and stings are painful but harmless and only affect the area around the sting. When abroad however, allergic reactions or infections from insect bites can become life-threatening. You should use a reliable insect repellent, and if you are heading for the tropics, check out the need for malaria tablets with your doctor. When abroad, be aware of other stinging and biting animals and insects, such as scorpions, snakes, spiders, and jellyfish. Vinegar is great for jellyfish stings. Carry some sachets (such as the ones in fast food outlets) in your first aid kit.
3. Don’t ignore earache
Ear infections are a really a common problem on holiday. Bacteria picked up while swimming or playing in water seems to be the main cause. They are unbearably painful and could prevent you from flying. The cabin pressure intensifies the pain and can burst an infected ear-drum. Antibiotics work quickly, so the advice is that if you have an earache, get to a doctor sooner rather than later.
4. Watch what you eat
An upset stomach can ruin your holiday. It could be caused by food poisoning or from consuming food and water that has been contaminated by bacteria, parasites or viruses. You could experience vomiting, diarrhoea and abdominal pain. Reduce the risk of stomach upset by only drinking bottled (preferably carbonated) water, avoiding shellfish (particularly uncooked varieties such as oysters), avoiding ice cream and ice in drinks, and only eating food that is piping hot.
5. Beware of the sun
A Royal Mail survey found that 38 per cent of us have suffered from extreme sunburn at some time. Those traveling to hot climates from countries such as the UK increase their risk of sunburn because their skin is unused to the sun. Fair skins are also more prone to sunburn. Because sunburn changes the skin’s DNA, it has been linked to skin cancers.
Sun protection is getting more and more effective. The factor you use depends on your skin type (fair skin = higher factor) and also on the area you are visiting, and the altitude. If you are unsure, play it safe with a factor of 25 or over.
6. Drink up!
Not too much alcohol though! If you become dehydrated, you are more likely to become ill. People don’t realize how much water they lose through perspiration at high temperatures. Symptoms include feeling dizzy, light-headed, lethargic and thirsty, followed by rapid heart rate and visibly wrinkled, inelastic skin. Children and the elderly are most at risk.
7. Check out the swimming areas
The Royal Society for the Prevention of Accidents advises not to swim anywhere without being sure in advance that it is safe. This includes lakes, rivers and seas and if nobody is swimming in a certain area, ask why. Do not dive or jump into water unless you are certain that it is deep enough.
Never leave children alone in or near water. Avoid scuba-diving within 24 hours of a flight, and learn the basics in the UK before you go. The British Sub-Aqua Club training is more comprehensive than the internationally recognized Padi course.

Why is it dangerous to hold your breath when scuba diving?
Larry S asked:
I just finished my scuba certification, and they told us the number one rule of scuba diving is to *never* to hold your breath. Even when you’ve lost your regulator, you’re supposed to breath out a small stream of bubbles.
I just finished my scuba certification, and they told us the number one rule of scuba diving is to *never* to hold your breath. Even when you’ve lost your regulator, you’re supposed to breath out a small stream of bubbles.
Is this only because of the overcompression injuries you can get if you hold your breath and rise (which allows the air to expand/decompress, potentially rupturing a lung, etc.) or are there other reasons?
Okay people, enough with the grouchy “you should know this”.
First, if it’s just a matter of not holding your breath when you *rise* I totally get the whole “expanding air” / “ruptured lung” thing (reread my original question… I state it right there).
My questions is why you should not hold your breath when you’re stationary (not rising or sinking), such as during the exercises where do you regulator recovery (sweep and reach methods). It feels more natural to hold my breath during that, but the course instructions say never hold your breath; hence my question.
