Holy weight-loss, Rubenstein! Congrats on not only losing it but also getting back into a great sport. One that will help you keep that all off, too!

Let us know how it goes

Were your weights the only thing you lost and were they on a belt or integrated?

123 pounds? That's discipline. Reward yourself with lots of diving!

Welcome to the board, Bob. You're in a great state for taking up diving, even if you've missed the evolution of almost all the toys we use. You'll love the variety of the lakes to choose from. You can find good diving you can park right next to and dive out of your car trunk. You can use a small boat and access the fun things divers have sunk for new divers to experience. . . A school bus at thirty feet, when you can see out the back door.

Make friends with other divers in your class, and other divers using the same dive shop. Ouachita lake, near Hot Springs is one of the leading vacation lakes with HouseBoats of every size. More than 100 sandy islands to tie up to, and never a crowded dive beach. Welcome back.

Thanks to all who responded to my original post. I appreciate the welcome. To (IDOCSSTEVE):"Integrated , primarily in front!" Also, yes, I'm fortunate to live in Arkansas , where opportunities for lake divivg are abundant. Good diving to all and if somehow any of you should make it to Jonesboro, AR. give a shout!
