Yup i'll support Ron on that one,

I was on a course of Larium and it had some strange effects, worse when combined with South African Castle lager which is a bit of a killer.

Several of our group diving off Kenya were on Larium with no ill effects (diving wise).

I have dived for 10 days whilst on Paludrine, no problems. Cannot remember what the other one was i was on with it.

Worst effects were on Nevquine after which i ended up having ECG's and all sorts of tests 'cos it gave me chest pains. Bit scarey when i walked into the med centre and told them 'cos i was about 38 at the time and just back from a PT session, they all started flapping thinking i was having a heart attack. I would not dive on that one.

Hope you have a good trip.

Paul
