Maldives ....a real treat a divers paradise ...Snorkelling is (nearly) as good. You can't sink, you can''t drown, it's as good as being a fish.
(With scuba, when your air runs out, it's more difficult)
Where were you?
I am a fish ....goldfish or killer whale I am not sure ....i cant help anyone who knows whats right and dosent do it, thats a job for the head patting folks amongst us, i have more interest in people that dont know what to do or what they have been told is potentially wrong, im not a clever person and im not a psychologist so i cant help the long term unmotivated, i tried to help someone with this very thing this week, you may have seen the results, i should stick to what i have experience with
we was considering a snorkelling holiday next year, not diving, just floating lol

Do it.
I was terrified of swimming out of my depth.
I genuinely couldn't swim.
A combination of heavy bones, shallow breathing, (no air in my lungs), and just being unfit.
I then learnt deep breathing, (lots of air in me), weigh loss, and also the attitude 'bo**ocks, diabetes will kill me, so I'll get in first', and I can snorkel over a bottomless pit now. Give me scuba, and my own air, and I don't give a fig.
Are you flying next year ....i swam with dolphins and snorkled with massive rays and cool fish in florida, it was very cool, but dont like the pressure on my ears diving down, so wouldnt fancy diving, i suffer terrible on planes

Now if you can run you can fly !Are you flying next year ....
What happens on planes ...
It gets easier with practice. (Like everything)
I can equalise just by 'clicking' my ears, without even pinching my nose.
Eventually, we agree, and I've said this from the start about you, if you recollect.
You do it very well your way, and I do it mine, but we both get there in the end!
Thank you I will get some , it is a long term problem .....I can't remember the name, but I buy it from Boots, it's basically vinegar, and I spray every time I dive, to prevent ear infections.
so in conclusion and if any newbies watching this great and interesting thread, once youve lost 6 stone, gained excellent control of bgs, do vigorous exercise regularly, monitor bg closely before and after meals, and you go deep see diving... if they dont push your numbers up.....its ok to eat carbs!
@Andy12345
yes I agree
When I think about it the official line is eat carbs we need them. Just maybe they are right, even if it takes 20 years for us to find out.
So yes I cut carbs but I will be increasing them when I can.
There is nothing like having a dollar each way.
