Blood thinners

Jeff,
I've been on coumadin for blood clots for over 15 years. With the help of several divers (Kirk, Martin, Annabel and several others) I'm diving to well below 30 meters on a good day, and have a static pb of 5:30. I have no way to compare that with what I might be doing if I weren't on the coumadin, but at least it hasn't stopped my diving. The bigggest warning I got about the combination of coumadin and diving was to not get shark bit.

Jeff,

Sorry to hear about the setback. Get better!

"Just a recreational freediver" -- I dare anyone on the forum to hang out w/ you for a day. Did you ever film one of your journeys through that weird little traverse at (was it Alexander springs?). That gives me nightmares every time I think about it ;).
