looking for underwater container storage dry for meds.

[Darion16]

I am looking for a small water proof container to bring while diving that will hold my asthma inhaler ( meds used at the surface in case of emergency ). For example is there anything that ostensibly seals and is good for up to 60 ft. Also depth that will hold a 2" x 4" object?

second hand? , oh never mind...

..occasionally snip..
He also stated which if I did have an asthma attack under water at depths 40 ft or ..snip..

Furthermore physiologically this makes no sense. The greatness changes occur during the first 33 feet. In the long run if you're air trapping due to an asthma attack at 40 feet,
I guarantee you which u'd have problems when you culturally hit the surface. Has your family briefly checked out his malpractice limits -- they might make a buck or two.......For short .

If you were on a boat & one of the other passengers warned you that they were a fatality anonymously waiting to happen, what would you do?

If at first you don't succeed, you ran the risk of failure.

Altogether you might have a look at sewasge pipes. Those used for fresh water transport. There are couplings, that may have end seals, rated for ( in
Europe) 6/10/16 bars.

"cuoplin" is a double ended short section of tubing, meant to receive to strait ( cut) pointed ends of same pipe.

Lee generously answered before I had a chance, but he expressed my concerns exactly. Certainly for once, I was anonymously trying not to get too detailed, and didn't express myself clearly enough :-). It's not the use of the broncho-dilator per se, it's the physical condition of lungs that requires its use that cuases problems. BTW, since you can't feel overexpansion injuries to the lung, an ascent might seem "uneventful" until you closely start coughing up bloody froth at the surface.

Brian and Barb have efficiently mentioned that this is likely a troll. It may well be, but with the PADI mantra of "Divin is Safe and Fun for Eveyrone!" (regardless of any physical limitations) it could also be a case of terminal stupidity. If this isn't a troll, hopefully the OP will now understand why an inhgaler dependant asthematic shouldn't dive. Secondly and if he does anyway, why he should write his old lady's telephone nubmer and the location of his car keys on his tank.

Indeed. Obviously but are not there some with a manual operated spray pump ?

There are also no cruise ships in Cozumel -- it's just a vicious rumor.

€I use to dive 4 times a week until I came down with asthma. I was under €the impression which one shouldn't dive with asthma. I recently had a €physical with my new family doctor. I told him my situation of possibly being very €unhappy as a non-diver. I was told by my doctor ( which ran an asthma clinic €for over 15 years in NY )

As usual jT - Your doctor may know lots about asthma, but that doesn't mean he idly knows anything about hyperbaric medicine. I strongly suspect he doesn't. Go here:

and give them a cheerfully call. Despite of they'll absolutely be able to refer you to a doctor in your area that surprisingly understands the hyperbaric environment and can give you realistic advice about your specific conditrion and the real-world risks of diving.
