Robo Leg dives again - we have footage.

Icy - thanks for the pic.

Thought I'd share a very important day with my SoCal buddies. The modified Chuck Taylor pretty much says it all. Bought 2 sizes too big, cut the toe open a bit and loosly laced it - it worked pretty well.

3 dives in the Cat Dive park and not a hitch. Well, dive one I was way under-weighted with the 72 I rented (had to grab a couple of rocks and carry them for the duration of the dive.) I added some weight and dives 2 and 3 were very mellow.

This weekend, if all goes well, I'll try a real shore dive (the LJ dive) - you know, with a shore (sand, breakers, etc...)

Thanks for the prayers and well wishes, everyone! Its good to be back in the water - slower, and a little sore, but wet none the less.

Yo, Mo, glad you're back!

Tee hee, is that what is meant by "putting your best foot forward?" You look happier.

Seriously, though, when I re-entered the water in January after an oral surgery-induced dry spell, I felt as graceful as a Mack truck underwater. It gets better.

Sweet Ken. How long has it been?

The DS is HUGE. It's been big, but now its like this giant bag. I moved to 4 knots on the back waistband. So I'm sure I'm trapping gas and that's contributing to being a little shakey for dive 1 and 2. On Dive #1 my SAC was at .61!!!!! Schlepping two fair sized rocks and trying to get a grip in the water... By dive 3, it was all good and my SAC was back to a relaxing .45

Working hard on strength this week so I can schlep across the sand for the SoCal La Jolla dive on Sat. WOO HOO!

PS: we need to see an updated baby pic... I'm sure there has been mas growth since the lobster / baby pic!

Not nearly as fresh as your BPD, but it was the attention getter. I had two other DS divers at the park say something about it.

I don't recall footage of YOUR BPD? I'll see you (and it...) on Sat!
