    what muscles to exercise

    I too would say I'm not done yet. (there is always a different way to do something LOL) And I do take my bc off in the water. I am finding I can lift different weights on different days.

    Anyone use a Transpac BP/W?

    Years ago I had a jacket bc. Then I saw people with the backplate/wing set up. I JUST wasn't sure I wanted that. So I purchased a Zeagle ranger to try out the idea. Used that for several years.

    Woman dies in Wisconsin Lake

    So sad. Wazee is a great place to dive here in WI. They have done so much to improve it for divers. May she rest in peace and peace to her family and friends. I have been around a death in the water years ago and everyone is in shock. I am sure that is what was happening at the Dive shop.

    Is Scuba therapy a pain management tool?

    It sure helps my arthritis pain. My husband can see the better attitude towards my pain the day before and after I dive. Maybe it's the cold water making the swelling go down..... ;-) gail
