@ 19 grams per cc, 5 lbs of uranium = 119.38cc = 7.28 cubic Inches so a little more than a 1x2x3.64 inch block = definite space saver:)

Thanks @Doc appreciate the input. I can sew and forge. These weights have been in the water before.

@Jonn I do love to get my hands dirty with a good side project. I understand our diaspora of divers come from all walks of life and experiences and just maybe there have been some upgrades in understanding since the old threads ended. If cost were an issue, I would have taken up golf.

I suppose to wear them like a codpiece it would require rotating them 90 deg and would provide extreme X-ray protection.

Sounds great @Jhgt2d. Last I dove Gilboa was in '96. From what I've been reading lots of changes

I don't think they would mind. Call the shop (time directions etc) but also check the water temps.

@Marie13 This is also a state where people point to their hand to describe where they are from like a topographical map they always have with them. The city has gentrified a lot since the '90s, I worked EMS in the city (Cass Corridor, East Side, Downriver) then. It's better, not perfect, but...

Hi Michael, welcome to the sport. I know the quarries are packing it in from what I've been reading but just learned today that Motor City SCUBA is running a dive on Black Friday @ Union Lake. Mike said they get 10-12 folks typically, but most will be in drysuits. Are you a wetsuit or drysuit...
