It's probably for the best for me, since my ears are still a little wonky. My right ear is popping, but not as easily as my left. I need to find a new ENT and get my ears sorted out.

I don't want that either! Silverbubbles said she has a great ENT, so I'm probably going to go see him. My old ENT is fired because he told me I can't dive anymore. I refuse to accept that answer!

I just texted you the information for my ENT office. They're really great people. Don't forget to ask about deviated septum (not that that is the entire issue here, but it could be contributing).

No worries on a date change, it will still be a good weekend for me.

I did lock a spot for July 20 if anyone would like to join me then. He said there was a plenty of room in that class. If there is a push for a group date at a later time I am sure I could push out my slot.

I can't do July 20th, too close to the flower gardens trip. I'd prefer Fall, I'm pretty open then, except around Thanksgiving . In summer I'd rather get in a boat when I can.

But I'd like to do this course, and with chummers.

Sounds like we need to throw darts at a board and pick something for the Fall. I am sure if I ask nicely I can probably get my class pushed to join everyone. My calendar is clear for their other dates, just some busy back to back weekends.

Aug 24
Sept 14- (Fling weekend)
Oct 12
Nov 2 & 9

I'd like to see if I can do Sept Fling trip, so that's out. But the October and November dates look good to me.

Let's make this thing happen.

November 9 is the homecoming game for Texas State, so it will be a busy day in San Marcos. It sounded like the November 2nd weekend would be available for more people. If anyone wants to commit to that weekend with me I will push my class date back.

November 2nd sounds like a great day for a fine Fall dive. What do y'all say?

I need a few more dives to get to 20, but that date works for me. Should be past 20 by then.

WOW!! FUN!!! DO IT!! DO IT!!! That seems like 4 of you are ready to commit to November 2nd. It would be so neat to have CHUM have 4 more new Spring Lake Divers. There were 4 of us the last time we did it (see picture in 1st post). But sadly, you aren't fortunate enough to be able to sport those awesome yellow dive skins. :p hahaha...you will get to wear the yellow tank covers.

Good evening, an update.

I have pushed my class back to November 9th. They had an error on their schedule of events page that led me to saying the 2nd was a date available. I have another event on November 16th so I am locked on a date now. If you can join me email the dive coordinator to get on the list for the class at divecoordinator@txstate.edu
