Everyone, I don't know what this is; I can't wait until the next dive! I'm walking around clearing my ears, and using hand signals!! I promised myself I wouldn't become one of those people obsessed with the next dive. Do I need help? Linda M

Linda, you have a well known divers condition known as CAW, compressed air withdrawal. This disease is known to be rampant in Bonaire, almost everyone that goes to Bonaire gets it. There is no known cure....come to think of it, I have never heard of anyone wanting to be cured..anyway, I find filling the bath tub with warm water, thowing in a couple of plastic fish in and lying in it face down with my mask and snorkle on helps a lot. The symptoms can only be stopped by returning to Bonaire.....they are lessoned some what in the Fla Keys and in the Bahamas.

Linda...have you tried to snorkle in the tub yet?

Snorkel in the tub, eh? I'm embarassed to admit it, but I already have the fish! I'll have to give that a try. I'm resisting sticking my head in the fish tank. I need to wait until my family is not around. I'm trying to book a trip for early March, to the Keys, Turks & Caicos or Cozumel. It's a health issue, now isn't it? I need to lesson the symptoms!!

Linda,,its good just to plan..if to just make you "think" your going...I plan to visit my sister in Florida in Jan...we are thinking of late Feb in Bonaire(to check out the Sandollar auction) or maybe just a March trip to the Bahamas....just to lighten things up till our trip to Bonaire in May........(the name of this thread is "Do you need help?" You seem pretty sane to me....

And I thought I was the only one.

It seems I'm in good company! My son is now protecting the fish tank. Kay, I know you're just saying "I told you so!" Meryl, Julie we were also in Bonaire over Thanksgiving. I just posted my first trip report.

Meryl, we stayed at Buddy Dive from Nov. 17th thru Nov. 24th. Wish we could have met up, but I spent most of my time under water
