Back in the water

[TartanFrog]

A week ago I got great news from my oncologist and radiation oncologist. Excellent results, no signs of the tumor.

On Thursday of last week I flew to Ft Lauderdale and spent the weekend diving. I was nervous about getting back in the water, but everything went very well. I took it very easy and was very aware of breathing and any signs of distress. I also had 3 dive buddies in very close proximity that are completely aware of the situation and who were constantly checking on me. In total over the 3 dive days I did 7 dives including wreck dives up to about 85 ft and multiple shallow reef drift dives.

I am very happy to say there were no issues either under water or getting in and out of the boat in "sporty" conditions.
