    Diving and Bad lower Back

    If it's weight you're worried about, maybe tried scuba classes that uses side mount. I think PADI is pushing for that right now as the new norm. It's much less physically demanding because you won't have to carry the tank on your back on land.

    How much should I expect to pay for inspection of Scuba gear

    Sorry but I was under the impression that you don't soak the regulators and only give it a splash for fresh water? (taught from my OW instructor, rental gear though) Also, wouldn't soaking ruin the 1st stage Yoke dust proof cap?
