    Back in the water!

    I haven't been diving in over a year; just had a beautiful baby girl 6 weeks ago. Made it back in the water at Lake 288 yesterday! Water was warm, visibility not bad for a TX lake. Saw a large white fish I didn't recognize plus a few boats and a bus. I'm hooked on diving all over again! :)

I have an old Andies UG...
