Re: Science diver* transplant looking to find community and keep up my diving experience

Bonus: I stumbled on this the other day-- the most screaming deal for soft weights I've ever found! Less than $1/pound. Holy smokes, am I reading this right?

This is a smart approach of being on the right side of caution, imho.
